U.S. sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela are one more example of:

“I have Asperger’s and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm,” she added. “And — given the right circumstances — being different is a superpower.”

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

“White people must face the consequence of their white privilege... as a product of white supremacy, which was facilitated by centuries of domination attained through occupation and economic exploitation of indigenous people of color.”

“I'm not saying that white people are better. I'm saying that being white is clearly better.

Who could even argue?”

“Now, if you're white and you don't admit that it's great, you're an asshole.”

Quotations are used by me as a means of inspiration and to invoke philosophical thoughts from the reader.

Pragmatically speaking, quotations can also be used as language games (in the Wittgensteinian sense of the term) to manipulate social order and the structure of society

“Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.”

~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
~ Austrian-British philosopher
~ Born: April 26, 1889, Vienna, Austria
~ Died: April 29, 1951, Cambridge, United Kingdom

You should decide whether something said, written or quoted makes sense by its content,

Not by the person who writes or says it,

Regardless of the letters after his or her name, title or position in society, age, nationality...

They are weak, useless people trying to drag down the successful to their level. Socialists drag everyone down to the bottom, while capitalist raise up those who earn it. So the quotes you post are idiotic and made by weak, jealous, people, trying to drag everyone down to their level. Greta Thunberg, the retard, being just one example.

The “real facts” are those that can be supported to be true or false by data or evidence.

In the other hand, an opinion is a personal expression of a person’s feelings or thoughts that may or may not be based in data or reality.

Many of people’s opinions are based on faith, emotions, personal history, indoctrination and values—all of which can be completely unsupported by meaningful scientific evidence.

Meaningful scientific evidence lol. Prove to me that cutting emissions ends the climate crisis. Prove to me it isn't caused because there are 6 Billion people too many on the planet. Use your fucking science to prove it. Of course why not cite studies telling us we'd all burn to death because of the hole in the ozone layer ..the last retarded scientific fact the left tried to pretend was real.

^ We will innovate, not regulate, our way green.
Rather than carbon taxes, cap and trade, and that shit, they should be talking about battery tech and next-gen nuclear.
I'm all for "going green" because it enables us to tell bad-behaving petro-states to GFY.

So the retard OP posts Greta Tunberg's quote on going after people based on their looks, despite the fact that progressive douche bags went after trump daily because of his looks. Let us spell progressive H y p o c r i t e.

He’s a fat bloviating blowhard and his wife’s all were weird looking

^ why do you make shit up and then argue?^ Your post is just strawman bullshit. If it is fair game to go after Trump its fair game to go after the retard as well. She's a weird looking fucking cunt, so what. Be consistent and stop the strawman bullshit.

^ I’m very consistent just because I don’t agree with your opinions doesn’t make anything I say a straw man argument, you on the other hand are picking on an autistic little girl whom I’ve never heard say anything about anyone’s looks, so no matter that I disagree with her opinions, I don’t make fun of her, yet the former President of the United States has sunk so low as to ridicule an autistic child is pathetic even for him.

Read Sapiens by Yuval Harari, then his book 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. Not easy reading, but enlightening.
