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.

    I find her to be annoying, TBH. She still is, but that doesn’t mean I cannot give her credit where credit is due.

      How is she annoying tho? She’s doing what most of us are afraid of doing. It’s not even like she’s bragging too much. Yeah, she’s getting a lot of attention, but since she’s using that in the right direction, it’s really ok.

          Idk. But I think all of them, including Greta, deserve as much praise as Greta is getting.

      I think annoying is exactly what we need. A pain in the ass is an effective way to get people to stand up. Many of the most memorable ads are irritating, but at least GT isn’t trying to make me download some app or buy overpriced crap.
