I thought you were kidding, but she actually did. Wow!

The context is that it's being built on indigenous land which they use for herding. So it's not perfect, for their side, but it's definitely not "Greta is against wind power"

Wind farms are commonly installed on farm land as well as land used to herd animals. So explain to me why THIS land is any different? It's not. But she was bafflingly protesting against it.

You can find out for yourself rather than attempting to discuss in bad faith.

See recent thread about “just google it” mantra.

Conversation is helpful. Even with people who disagree with you.

"it's not" shows that the person has already made their mind up and done their reading, so I'm not particularly bothered about engaging people like this as they are not actually interested and are just trying to derail in bad faith.

“It’s not” shows that the person has already made up their mind

It shows that they currently disagree with you.

are just trying to derail

Well yeah, a genuine conversation can go anywhere, unlike something on rails which is bound for a single destination. IMO someone who thinks a conversation should behave like a train and follow a predetermined path is missing out on what conversations actually are.

Another way to say “trying to derail” could be “trying to make it go a different direction”.

That’s conflict. That’s when two people have different ideas. Just because they use sarcasm or rhetorical questions doesn’t mean they’re bad actors. Just because they’re mocking your point of view doesn’t mean they’re bad actors.

No, they answered their own question, they are settled and unwilling to discuss. The upvotes on my post show how the consensus is that they are engaging in bad faith. Don't encourage it.

Maybe there's a small difference in behavior between domesticated cattle and undomesticated deers.

Because it’s indigenous land. The point is that the people who live there should get a say after centuries of genocide.
