This will certainly rile the rightwingers. They have hated Greta since she stepped into the spotlight and anything she talks about.

All they want is to destroy the planet and carry out their genocides in peace. Is that really too much to ask?

[-] rammer@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

The planet will be fine. Humans on the other hand not so much. The planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable by humans. The genocides are just hurrying that process along.

I wouldn’t be so sure that “the planet” will be fine. All the species of animals and plants that we know and love will likely go extinct. Even if we do survive like the little cockroaches we are (in the best way possible) we’re never gonna see this world again. It will be dead forever. We will be alone, in a world filled with life that we never learned to love and know. Truly aliens on an alien planet.

The tardigrades will be fine!

Damn.... You make genocides sound like a good thing for the earth.

Fuck pop politics regardless of sides... It's all wack power games. Real people are real regardless of law.

Right wingers absolutely DEMANDING that free speech be crushed for all but themselves.

[-] cupcakezealot 1 points 1 year ago

can't wait until right wingers come out with some shit like "i thought she was about the climate" so i can slap them in their face when i explain that war is one of the biggest causes of environmental disaster

I appreciate what Ms. Thunberg does and says. She's my moral barometer.

[-] Jordan_U@lemmy.ml 56 points 1 year ago

No single person should be your moral barometer.

Stanning is bad.

(I also appreciate everything I've heard of Greta Thunberg saying and doing.)

[-] ULS@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Truth.

In the kind words of Immortal Technique, and I quote...;

"I'm just a man, don't follow me nigga."

I'm sure Greta says the same in other words. ...or maybe even the same words if she's around her close group of friends...

[-] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

because she's Illuminati, right?

[-] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Because when the media becomes fixated upon a child like that, they're likely being exploited. Doubly so with the children of celebrities as Greta is.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

who are her parents?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Her Mum and Dad

[-] ULS@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Weather sticks react to her mood!

Oh no a young woman famous for climate activism said something. Bust out your pitchforks, chuds.

[-] jag@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 year ago

hell yeah!

My God, the child's a war princess!

Young people are prone to believing propaganda from Hamas because they haven't been reading the news for a few decades to understand the context. Though you'd think Hamas massacring villages would get people up to speed. But when memes about Palestinians=good, Jews=bad has been circulating the internet for most of someone's formative years, it's hard to break out of this pattern.

Every fourth generation has antisemitism problems because they likely never even met someone who has seen the effects of it. Gaza now looks like the cities of Germany looked like at the end of WWII. Hatred causes destruction, and many times it cause the destruction of one's self.

Don't hate Jews, kids. Jews aren't our enemies. Those that promote hatred towards Jews are pulling you into something you really don't want to be a part of.

[-] cobra89@beehaw.org 25 points 1 year ago

Support for Palestine does not equal antisemitism. And it's incredibly problematic that that's what you've implied here.

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

It's actually more like Hamas = bad Israel = worse Palestinians = victims of genocide

I wouldn't label whole ethnicities as good or bad.
