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.
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.
Just like what they did to MLK.
you could pay half the country with the energy of MLK rolling in his grave.
Anyone with a bumper sticker calling for the rape of someone, especially a minor, should be anal raped themselves just to make sure they know what they’re wishing for.
I’ll die on this hill.
emotionally, I agree, but I think we shouldn’t have a mechanism to implement anal rape onto the public.
Fair enough, we can abolish prisons after dealing with the bumper sticker pedos.
Nah, fed through a woodchipper feet first.
But like on eighth-speed
She’ll be a t-shirt poster soon enough.
she’s one iconic picture away to be commercialised like Ché
Yay, new religion
i imagine, someone like Greta, a couple thousand years ago would have been considered a prophet.

Is this the version you intended to upload?
Is this loss?
Yeah it’s too clear. I can still read some of the words
everybody will remember you for your cynicism
They did it to Martin Luther King and countless others, they will do it to her too.
Liberals whitewashing revolutionaries is a common theme throughout American history.
I’m cynical about liberals, not towards her.
just bringing it up because that what usually happens with people who want to fix the world. like MLK.

Wow this comment section is a dumpster fire.
Peace out ✌️
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.
Unfortunately, she is probably going to die on that ship.
More likely an israeli drone will take out the engine and start a fire like last month.

Killing white women would be a real bad look for ol Israel.
Something tells me they’re not super concerned about optics
Systemic starvation is usually considered a bad look too
I think the West would be more upset at what they’re doing to Gaza if they weren’t brown and Muslim.
They’re targeting US Press. They don’t give 2 shits so long as they’re not breathing in Gaza.
US Press aren’t high profile by virtue of being American. An individual American journalist is nothing in the eyes of the public. If they shot and killed someone like Anderson Cooper, that’s a big story. Random journalist from ABC News? Would barely make a splash.
I don’t think that they give a shit. Ask Rachel Corrie…
Damn she got bulldozed.
She kinda is the Sophie of this Generation.
No not even close. I mean no disrespect to Greta nor do I want to diminish her accomplishments in any way. The risk at which she does this is however incomparable to the Scholl siblings. There has never been the risk of a death sentence or anything remotely close to that.
Eehhh, she’s on a boat sailing to deliver supplies to Gaza. Do you know what Israelis do to people that do this? They shoot at government representatives from allied countries that come to observe, they murder journalists for breakfast, and there is an extremely realistic chance she will be murdered or maimed as the Israeli army doesn’t give a shit about who she is or what she’s about to do. They’ll murder her and then come up with some bullshit story about how violent she was.
This is an army that slaughtered ambulance workers that came to a call to help. A boy who was captured before saw this and was murdered only days after as the ambulance thing became a bit of a news problem. This is an army of psychopaths that don’t give a shit.
To say that there isn’t a death sentence at the end of this trip is disingenuous.
There is a high chance she will be killed by Israel for her attempt at helping Palestine.
Greta is also choosing to do this. She has ever, chance to … just not do it. Sofi had no say in her situation.
I mean I will agree that the chance for that is bigger than zero, but it would be so freaking dumb to do. Many European countries have started to rethink their ties to Israel. They are evil, but not that stupid.
Nah, low chance she gets purposefully killed by Israel, she’s way too high profile and white for that to happen.
If she were a low level journalist or middle-eastern, she’s a goner, but she’s wrapped in enough privilege to make it politically non-viable to kill her.
I mean sure, they’ll spin it as an accident.
There is a chance because they no longer seems to care to pretend there not evil, however they very much know what she is trying, they know everyone knows they know she is coming.
The only way she will get killed is on purpose, the nature of her actions are too publicly political to be an accident.
They definitely will try to stop and scare her. But the chance of death is not “high” in this case.
Its similar to political officials visiting gaza. They will do things nearby to scare them but there not dumb enough to get them killed.
I have been very worried for years now that she will meet the same fate. I hope I’m wrong.
can someone explain what did she do to be qualified as “gift to humanity”? kinda bold claim
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.
Did she? Because she seems to think it was a mistake on Germany’s part
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.

Castrate then lobotomize yourself, you fucking fool.
Sometimes it’s the size of the heart behind the boobs that matters
Username checks out
This can’t be real. You taking seriously this capitalist subproduct? Wow dbzero you disappoint me.
Hey cmon she does provide a net positive to issues that impact us all, lets not infight over it.
Wow, you are so full of it.
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.
Why is she wearing the retarded onlyfans shoes
She’s wearing sneakers, wtf is the matter with you?
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
Not discrediting the work she does but it’s not like any of us even have the chance to do what she’s doing
Horse shit. That’s exactly what you’re 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
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?
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.
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.
Sailboats have motors that can reverse. No it isn’t hard to turn around unless they’re in a savage storm or extremely large waves. Which judging by the picture they aren’t. At all.
The smaller the ship the easier it is to maneuver.
Greta: “what about no longer killing the planet? Or children, for that matter?”
Jaybone: “Yeah, but maybe you could first wear something I consider appropriate? Then we can talk.”
He is right though, please at all times wear life jackets on boats - regardless if that is on sailing or motorised vessels! It is extremely hard to stay afloat and alive until the crew is in a state to help. It happens way too often and even to experienced sailors.
Being right doesn’t make it appropriate. The context of a message is important and having such a statement about such a person in such a situation met with a comment like that is ridiculous.
lol “wear something I consider appropriate” like I’m criticizing her wardrobe.
Oh no, you’re just criticizing the person like a literal dipshit.
The ridiculousness of your comment was kind of my point.
We’re talking about safety equipment, not her fashion choices.
Yes, you probably should be wearing a life jacket on deck. Although the boat may be at anchor, in which case it would be pretty easy for her to climb back on.
It’s not hard to turn a sail boat around
