    a decade after her death, shitlibs will sanitise her, chop off a couple sound bites, and say she always agreed with them. then forget everything she stood for.

    If you go check out conservative communities on the internet, you’ll find and endless stream of men talking about sexual violence towards Greta. It’s really disturbing and gives you an idea of how their brain works.

      So here is a trick, when you hear about people saying that they are on the left but are tired of hearing about her, you can tell they are full of shit. Why? Because actual media will report on her actions because she has celebrity activist status. But they stop when the events stop. Conservatives media will harp on her in a creepy way for months without any pushing. Am radio will drop her name like they blame Obama for covid.

        High school thinking would dictate that they were attracted to her from the get-go. As in when she was 16. I’ve seen too much evidence to not just put that thought to bed. These folks project like a flashlight.

      I’ve seen some absolutly crazy shit from Alberta consevatives a couple of years ago. Basically bumper stickers calling for the rape of a 16 years old. And these people think of themself as representative of familly values and freedom of speech. We got to get ready to throw some punches folks, some people are beyond saving.

    I hope all our politicians are paying attention. That’s how you solve problems and earn admiration. I’m sure everyone of our politicians can swim just fine. But do they got the balls to confront chaos to save people in need?

      They neither have the balls nor any desire. Our leaders are, to a one, weak men and women seeking only to shove as much money in their pockets as possible before their hopefully swift and "un"timely guillotine-enabled deaths.

    Wasn’t she propped up by insanely rich parents though. Not discrediting the work she does but it’s not like any of us even have the chance to do what she’s doing

      ?

      So unless you’re rich, you can’t protest? Unless you’re rich, you can’t make your voice heard?

      As I understand it, her parents are well off but I don’t see them being insanely rich. I also see Greta herself basicat not spending all that much as she actually seems to put her money where her mouth is; something not seen often anymore.

      It makes it a lot easier for sure if your parents have some money, but it’s not a requirement.

      Comments like yours distract from the actual fact that she is actually sailing straight at an actual marine fleet from a country known to actually murder anyone that tries to stop them from committing actual fucking genocide. There is an actual non zero chance that she’ll be dead or maimed before this is over and she knows this and is there anyway.

      This woman has balls of weapons grade uranium and any talks about her progenity is distracting and disgusting bullshit that has zero to do with the actual subject

      She’s doing what must be done despite the draw of greed. It’s admirable. Not to say someone’s given the opportunity couldn’t do a better job

      Hypothetically, if there is a movement for real social change or some kind of revolution in the future it will need some amount of money. Having allies who have money and are willing to use it on the right causes is pretty important. Alienating them is not helpful.

      What do you propose? You things all have the same talking points - that the wealthy can never do good. What do you want instead? Forced abortions if your income is above a certain level?

      The amount of “people” (I’d call you rolls plus ‘t’, but Lemmy doesn’t like calling people what they obviously are) trying to degrade her as if she is the capitalist scum is frankly laughable. You mean to tell me a literal freedom fighter is the enemy? Go off, numbnuts.

    Shouldn’t she be wearing a life jacket if she’s going to be posing on the edge of the boat like that?

    I think she prefers sail boats rather than fuel burning boats, so it’s going to be difficult for them to turn around and pick her up if she falls in.

      Consistently fighting for personal rights and environmental equality.

      Not to mention she’s able to shrug off the obscene amount of hate she gets, so it’s pretty obvious she really believes in what she fights for.

      More of a hero than anyone else within 30 years her age.

      She helped Germany de-provision their nuclear energy via emotion driven policy, so they could inevitably deploy coal to avoid deindustrialization.

      Ditched this platform 3 months ago. Thought I’d swing by and see if it’s improved. You’ve been down voted to hell for asking a question. Because you dared to not just blinded worship some child. The left’s worship of her is like when weirdo conservatives were praising Rittenhouse.

      This place isn’t going to change. A left wing hell hole for the alt left to jerk each other off.
