Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she’s hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.

    IDK what’s up with the downvotes, I think that’s a good question.

    Most people her age probably can’t afford to dedicate even just the time required to pull off something like this. And yeah, it doesn’t look like she’s exactly living in luxury out there but you still gotta eat from time to time.

    My best guess is personal donations from people invested in the cause. Apart from the boat, it probably doesn’t even take a huge amount of cash to survive out there. About a grand a month seems fairly realistic.

      And if it was better known how she is able to do it, maybe more people could dedicate their lives to fighting the bad shit in the world.
