Mother of teen activist 'goes berserk' after daughter is exposed as 'massive hypocrite' 

Yep thats the level of intelligence we have come to expect from activists

The lack of self awareness is absolutely astounding.

It's already infuriating that these people have the audacity to try to tell us how to live our lives, but it's even more infuriating when they can't even manage their own. The entitlement and narcissism is off the charts.

That poor child never stood a chance with such a mother.

Hypocricy at its finest.

The mother's overreaction to her daughter's hypocrisy being exposed suggests that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.

I think the bigger picture here is why the Media is even giving her a interview or a platform.

The mother's childish response speaks volumes.

At least we know we can blame the bad parenting

They deserve to be humiliated and laughed at.

So not being a Yes Man to a 16 years old is now being "cruel". Noted.

The reality is that the mother is mad because SHE was exposed as a hypocrite. Her daughter stepped into the adult world and just learned a lesson. The host was perfectly polite and treated the young lady fairly.

The climate activist put her own child out there! She is worse than the stereotypical stage moms.

As a grown man, I have never made any decision based on what a child says. In fact, I often go well out of my way to avoid doing what a child would advise me to do. And maybe it's cruelty, who cares? These "people" deserve this kind of abuse and humiliation, often worse.

Izzy wasn't treated poorly or abused. I thought the interviewer was kind and gentle in her response.

I remember when I was a teen (more than two decades ago), I was so concerned about the environment and saving the earth, then I grew up and became more concerned about being able to put food on the table and caring for my family. When you are young and provided for by parents, your priorities are different from when you have to take on full adult responsibilities. I still do my bit to not be too wasteful, but it would not stop me from travelling just for enjoyment, or using an air conditioner when it's hot.

I love that the presenter openly laughed at her.

The radio host didn't make a fool out of poor Izzy .. Izzy made a fool of herself ! PERIOD ! 😇

That "Izzy! C'mon, mate..." was savage.

Hypocrisy: The ULTIMATE Superspreader! 🤦‍♀️

As Alan said on June 4th 2019..To all the school kids who went on 'strike' for climate change... You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic. You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and replace perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy. Your scooters and skateboards are increasingly... electric! Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport. The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed. How about this... tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured goods. No, none of this will happen because you are uneducated, selfish, virtue signalling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.

The real consequences of never being told “no”.

I hate when people say “Do as I say, not as I do.” My immediate response is, If you want to see me do anything, 1) it’ll only happen if I decide I also want to do it and 2) I had better see you do it first.

Well put, "maternal". The laughter was a gentle way to say "C'mon young lady. Snap out of it!"

This whole “episode” just highlighted what the mother has raised, that’s why she hit the roof after her daughter was caught out.

The mother trying to live her life through her daughter is why she took it so personally.

I'm surpised Izzy didn't catch on when the woman asked "Am I allowed to go to Fiji?"

Imagine if the people that made "standards" and "rules" had to also abide by them

You can see where the daughter gets it from.

"How dare my daughter be treated like that..." How dare she attempt to treat the rest of the world like she apparently wants to?

Admission of wrongdoing is the most valid form of protest. These guys got this 100% wrong.

The key word from every environment "activist" is "How dare you!"

Clearly the mother is the person who should be held primarily responsible for this .

how unfair on poor Izzy Cook, we all know as a young wokester, she cares and loves the climate enough to tell all of us to go back to the Stone Age, stop all air travel, go vegan, buy electric cars or ride bikes while she takes her flights to Fiji for that hard earned break from being right about everything

She is right, No politicians should travel anywhere. No big corporations CEO should be traveling anywhere.

Mother experiences secondhand embarrassment and doesn't know how to process the emotion.

There's no worse human being than an adult who was pampered as a child

How can it be cruelty when you ask a question and the person answer and makes herself look like a fool?

That says it all. Thank you.

Remind me again. Why is anyone listening to a child for very important information?

Izzy obviously has “Rules for thee but not for me” attitude. Oh, she’ll make a perfect politician.

They are all hypocrites . They make decent people crook .

Hypocrisy: Prop up child activists & then tell the adults that you can't criticize children.

Anyone that is willing to give up freedom for safety will never get out of the sheep pen.

That phone call is gold. Bordering on satire.

This is why children are used as activist speakers. You can't argue with them or be rude to them because they're children. But they can be as rude as they want to us.

The lack of self awareness of these hypocrites is staggering.

This is the level of intelligence I would expect from a climate change activist.

Hypocrisy is the most common quality they all share... that and the inability to think critically.

The hypocrisy with these people is unbelievable

As human beings we are a galactic embarrassment

All these grown-ups laughing at teenagers who worry about the planet and the future - it's disgusting.

"Mum! Am I a massive hypocrite for saying "Do as I say, not as I do?" "No, my little darling! Those people are just stupid! You had every right to go to an exotic place, then tell everyone else they don't deserve the same."

Anyone who thinks these "child activists" came to these decisions and conclusions on their own are deluding themselves. They are created by activist parents who are using their child as a human shield to deflect any form of criticism. They do that and then hide behind the old "How dare you criticize a child" excuse. It is absolutely despicable behavior and frankly should be considered child abuse. These people are absolute pieces of trash.

They are all hypocrits!

The part where she says the parents forced her to go.... priceless!

"Don't do what I do, do what I say" A whole LOT of that going on since 2020.

The way her mother reacted says it all. I hope she pursues an education

They really aren't accountable for anything are they?!

They can dish it out, but they can't take it.

"Oh mommy please help me, the grown up made me feel stupid." "How dare you point out my kids hypocrisy?" "Stupid is as stupid does ma'am "

Mom's doing a great job teaching her child "when people do things you don't like, just get mad and yell at them!!!"

Since when do parents take orders from little kids

How about you ask the Fijian's, who heavily depend on tourism for their livelihood, if they feel people should stop traveling to Fiji?

If you're going to step into the ring, you better know how to take a punch.

The laughter of that radio host was pure gold!🤣

Child prodigy? Wtf, she could hardly string a sentence together

The other option, besides scrutiny, is to ignore them completely. That might make them even angrier, TBH

The laughing at her is just amazing. That’s what we all need to do. Just laugh and point out how stupid they are. The radio station was amazing. Did they know she went to Fiji? They probably checked out her social media and thought this is gold! Haha 😂

It is hard to believe how she can literally just say it isn't necessary to go to a place she just went. If we don't laugh at these people, their brain disease may become contagious. I haven't been on a plane in years but, the ones who say we shouldn't be allowed to leave our country are the same ones having foreign country vacations and using private jets for regular travel.

Hypocrites are literally the worst

These kids have air conditioned classrooms, get driven to and from school and use electronics all day and night long. Paleeze!!! Their action shouldn't be striking. It should be trying life without such luxuries. We didn't have them when we were kids.

That fact that she's a kid has no bearing on this. She will be this out of touch 10 yrs from now.

That laughing is the best weapon against these kids.

This is why they are called "children".

I find it interesting that the kid didn't seem to see the conflict between her actions, and rhetoric until the very moment that the interviewer asked her where she had flown. That pause was her realizing, then the admission was her mouth outrunning her ability to process.

The mother's reaction explains A LOT!

That radio host didn't just simply expose her hypocrisy she flat out made fun of her for it, thats hilarious.

As a kiwi I'm embarrassed by this family.

If someone has been taught to rationalized that hypocrisy. The world is doomed

The way Izzy says Fiji when she’s asked where she went on holiday was priceless 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mother being shown up for the hypocrisy. Why did the muppet take her kid overseas?

She gets a pinch of credit for honesty. Seriously. Tell the possibly narcissistic parent to beat it.

Treated like WHAT?! A HYPOCRITE?!?! Your bloody damn right!! Ungabliegable.

Hypocrisy and Double-Standards are exponentially becoming a problem in the younger generations. I witness this first-hand

They are intentionally hiding behind children because we shouldn't be able to "attack" them. It's strategic on their part and quite deceitful.

She want to be an activist?? Afraid of questions?? What a joke.

This kid isn’t a kid anymore. She can’t hide behind that anymore.

Jet setters will tell you loud and clear, YOU don’t need to fly.

Going berserk or being "triggered" by something like this as an adult proves that her Mother is not an adult at all, hence her entitled behaviour. It's called self-control, most of us don't agree with some aspects of other peoples lives/choices but don't go out of our way to abuse, attack or force change on others

When I grew up, I was told that children should be seen and not heard. Seems to still be a perfectly valid statement today.

Rules for thee not for me. I love the laughter!!😂😂👍👍👍👍 The mother put her daughter in that position. Be a responsible parent

Like Mother like Daughter … surely we are not surprised at Mum’s response. I personally agree the radio station interview was conducted with respect and good humour.

This is a huge part of the problem, parents letting their kids be terrified that they are going to die in (it must be down to about 8 years now) to the extent they can’t reason. Fear is mind numbing.

*They're all hypocrites*

Well done mum, a really great example of excellent parenting skills. NOT! 😮

"You can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen." The kid put herself out there, she better be prepared to take the criticism that goes with broadcasting her opinion. She also better use someone wiser than herself as a sounding board. She walked right into that barrage of laughter, which was well deserved.

I give Izzy credit for being honest.

It's alright for them but not for us.

They’re all hypocrites, especially our governments. We need to fight for our human rights
