She’s always been a good poster in addition to a good activist. I remember after trump called her an angry little girl who needs to watch movies with her friends she changed her twitter bio to that
Okay I feel like the post here goes on a few sentences too long, but that’s some fucking good gear. Full respect.
Many autistic people have impeccable comedic timing while missing so many jokes.
i’m so fucking tired of hearing libs hate on trump personally as a way to cast him as a sort of sin eater who personally embodies all the evil that capitalism, imperialism and white supremacy brought into this world, as if the entire 400+ year history of the US and whites in general since colombus isn’t just exactly the same shit trump has been doing but done by demons who cared slightly more about appearing respectable, because it rhetorically serves their support of the status quo
so i came into this post skeptical but fuck she got me with the hague comment lmao i didn’t realize she was such a poster
How is Greta a lib? She regularly criticized the Biden-Harris admin too, and regularly criticizes neoliberalism in general
Thuberg has been arrested and tossed in a Zionist torture camp for attempting to deliver aid to victims of genocide. She’s earned her place as one of the best people to ever live regardless of any of her ideological quirks. She’s an actual embodiment of heroism.
She has genuine fucking conviction and should be lauded until the end of time
i’m not saying she’s a lib
i’m saying insulting trump personally (as opposed to criticizing his policies, ideology, etc) has become the main way that libs keep telling themselves Everything Is Fine, so much so that any criticism of him personally reads as lib cope to me, at least at first glance
greta has put in the work over the years to not be subjected to this criticism
Yeah I think the good majority of what Greta says relate to policy and ideology, nothing wrong with some personal insults mixed in, but ofc the liberal media will focus on catchy quotes like this over her actual substance. Also it’s not like she called him a foul-mouthed cheeto, she just said made a joke on how he’s a demented war criminal, which we do all the time, and did for Biden as well
i’m so fucking tired of hearing libs hate on trump personally as a way to cast him as a sort of sin eater who personally embodies all the evil that capitalism, imperialism and white supremacy brought into this world
And yet, they feel this way, and choose to respond by calling Trump increasingly esoteric childish nicknames.
I made a comment yesterday on saying that I found it annoying, but at least they were being creative.
I woke up this morning to my inbox being flooded with libs accusing me of being pro-Trump, and calling me mentally ill.
So if that’s the baseline we’re working with here, Greta is blowing them all out of the water lmao
Greta Thunberg is a once in a generation example of courage and dedication. One of the coolest people currently alive and I feel like she’ll be remembered in history in a semi-mythological way like with MLK Jr or Mandela. And by that I mean she’ll be both lauded and distorted equally but that’s just how it goes.
I love Greta and she’ll go in history books but this is too much. There’s many Greta’s out there, the reason why she became famous is because she had a famous mom who knew how to get Greta tons of media attention and connect her with other important people, and provided for Greta while she became a full time activist. Genuinely I can name so many people with her dedication and courage who don’t have the influence and fame Greta has because they struggle to stay afloat while combining work and organizing or activism. People who were activists during high school like Greta.
In Palestine alone there are probably thousands of Greta’s.
While I don’t disagree fundamentally, the difference in Greta’s case is that she has resisted face-to-face liberal temptation and manipulation at every opportunity, while under INTENSE media scrutiny at every single step. It’s hard to maintain a positive public image, your morality and just your sanity WHILE publically criticised at every turn, while declaring capitalism to be terrible and speaking at the UN and to various world leaders AND maintain your fundamental sense of morality, all while being erudite and passionately committed.
Obviously there’s an element of luck that it’s her in that position and not somebody else. That’s true of every famous person ever. She’s not the only person in the world who would be like that given the chance. She’s not the only person who would reject the insane amount of effective bribery that must’ve been laid before her with an attitude of utter selfless altruism and public disgust.
But it’s sure as hell a very small and utterly amazing group of people who would act like that, and she’s in it. It is down to luck that she got famous, but she used that fame to a maximally good cause in a way a LOT of us wouldn’t, and she deserves hella kudos for that.
There are many different dimensions to liberal temptation. Media is not the most important one and I’ve seen people resist worse types of temptation. You just don’t see them if you don’t involve yourself because the inherent part about media pressure is that it’s super visible, while other types of pressure are often made to be invisible. Greta Thunberg is not more dedicated and courageous than a resistance fighter who has to disappear from their family and hide their identity for their whole life because if they were to be found they and their family would be killed instantly.
You’re right. I often fall into great person theory and see stuff in a theatrical way. I also overcompensate because in my daily life I only hear negative things about Thunberg.
Idk, i see a lot of “fuck Greta” stickers on shitty cars and motorcycles, and they seem really intelligent
Greta is cool as fuck. Pisses off so many gammons.
You can definitely tell she puts some significant thought into her public statements. I quite enjoy some of her rhetorical constructions.
Queen shit 🫡
I think she should’ve just left it at the Hague bit. The rest just lays it on too thick.
I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards
idk I really enjoyed the mental image of Trump physically pooping strings of letters out and forming sentences with them.
