Because they have been told to not gather in large groups out in the streets (accomplishing nothing but spreading awareness and being hysterical), the young doomsday cultists are trying something new
Fridays for Future strikers around the world shared their demands for bold climate action online Friday as many youth activists heeded public health experts’ recommendations in the face of the coronavirus pandemic by eschewing public protests in favor of digital demonstrations.
The online displays followed the call earlier this week from school strike for climate pioneer Greta Thunberg to #ClimateStrikeOnline.
In a Friday tweet as Thunberg marked her 82nd week of school strikes, she reiterated the basis for her call.
“In a crisis we change our behaviour and adapt to the new circumstances for the greater good of society,” she wrote.
For a moment, I thought they were going to get offline, putting down the Internet, which uses vast amounts of energy. No social media, no binge watching (which is supposedly horrible for Hotcoldwetdry)

Oh, a selfie with a message! ZOMG! So brave. There are lots of silly tweets, taken surely between playing on the game console, and this might be my favorite

That green part in the bottom right explains how to get involved with….sending a tweet. Sigh. Perhaps the parents should take away all their things that are powered by electricity, see if they are so hot to be climate cultists then.
Bitchi Longstocking looks like she’s been snorting some of the CBD stuff.
And, yeah, nothing like going online when you’re stuck at home, anyway. Nowhere near as fun as ditching school because you can’t really ditch home.
Not in Lefty Swerige. You vill be PC!!!!!!!!!!!
Holding up a sign-what’s that going to do?
Do you imagine it’s going to motivate someone else to actually make some effort, other than simply parroting what you’re doing?
Useless gestures abound.
