Having met Greta through our respective autism support communities, it feels weird that I still think of her as a kid. She can buy alcohol now!
I had a good feeling she'd end up a comrade.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer

She's been able to buy alcohol for three years
Yeah I've heard good things about her from people who have met her too, glad to see it reflected here
Greta Thunberg has been the most pleasant surprise of recent history. She is amazing.
Light itself, but like, unironically
She's amazing.
Has she ever pointed out that the main economic reason that the US needs Israel is to destabilize Middle Eastern countries with large oil reserves? I think that's a really powerful argument for her audience and I'm a little sad not to see her explain that connection here.
Honestly, I'm glad to see a change. For all my life, I've heard "oil oil oil" behind every US action, and while that might be part of the thing, it's far from the whole picture and her tweet calling imperialism by its name is kinda what we need if you ask me
I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like "fuck you greta!" on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her "having gone too far" in hushed voices. Only ppl I've met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org
If this keeps up we might get a Part 3 to this meme.
Greta start posting on hexbear
She's not enough of a to post here
Shit, Hexbear is old. I remember people here discussing how we shouldn't be too critical of her because she was still a child. Now she's a young woman and we still shouldn't be too critical of her because she's right. I hope the rest of the generation tries to emulate it.
It's good that we were right about her longterm trajectory though!
There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other
In no way judging Greta here, but I have doubts
Dick Cheney scares me far more than Donald Trump does. Cheney has caused far more death and destruction, and is much more effective in his evil deeds. When both candidates are pro-war and genocide, I think the side with Dick Cheney’s endorsement scares me more.
This is compounded by the fact that Republicans face more opposition than Democrats when they do evil things, and Trump more than the average Republican. Do you think the George Floyd protests would’ve been nearly as big if Biden had been president at the time? Absolutely not. Both at an institutional and public level, Trump, by nature of being icky, pisses people off and it makes his schemes harder to pull off. When Biden does the exact same things, he does them to thunderous applause.
Roe was overturned under Biden. More people have been deported by Biden. Biden ended covid protections, and more people have died from covid because of him. And most importantly, Biden is the architect of the Gazan genocide.
I’ve said before that voting for Kamala over Trump is voting to re-elect Hitler to prevent Goebbels from getting into office, but I’m starting to think it’s more like voting for Hitler to prevent Kaiser Wilhelm from getting back into office. Like yeah, he sucked dick and did a bunch of evil shit, but Hitler is currently doing the Holocaust.
I don't really get the idea that people are somehow going to be 'more against' the genocide in Gaza because Trump is in office. Sure, people protested for George Floyd. You know what they didn't protest at all? The killing of Soleimani. In fact I can't think of a single foreign policy initiative that liberals protested other than the visit with Kim Jong-Un, the only good foreign policy thing that Trump did during his presidency.
The people that are currently protesting the Gaza genocide will continue to protest no matter who is in office. The people who are not are not going to have some sort of come to Jesus moment because the cheeto got elected.
smh what's all these libs doing brigading on our thread? And they're so rude and condescending! Don't they know their ideology has never worked? It always collapses into fascism!
Waiting for the inevitable "Greta is a Russian assett" think piece.
Or in a more infantilizing way "Has been influenced by Russian propaganda"
Well I'll be goddamned. I genuinely didn't think she'd ever have it in her to get even this far.
Well, the autism is a bit of a boost in actually getting to the root of the problem rather than getting stuck in the neurotypical bounds of respectability and milque toast solutions.
This is why I say the two parties are american-supremacists vs white-supremacists.
This person fundamentally believes that american lives are more important and valuable than anyone else's lives around the world. They are an american-supremacist without self-awareness.
sitting this election out by voting third party
Voting is actually not voting you see, but also not voting is actually voting
Incredible, all of the lib talking points, complete with a promise to stand by and watch
Someone in the replies called her a selfish white supremacist and got (as of now) 34 likes for it. Her copey ass response to it got much less than that, so that's something.
Palestine is suffering, yes,
White Supremacy. These motherfuckers have no solidarity, and will use LGBTQ and POC as a cudgel to maintain Empire. Rainbow Imperialism in a nutshell.
Greta progressively getting more based is fun to see, maybe the kids are alright?
Just missing a little Maoist Standard English
~~164~~ 200+ comments? Did the dumbass libs find this post or are we having a struggle sesh about Greta?
predictions for if it's libs
predictions for strugglesesh
edit:
It was the libs.
A little primer for triggered libs:
I had her written off, but I'm down with Tankie Greta
I was like kid Greta as kid, but then turned into a lib as I got older. Glad she didn't make that mistake.
It's a welcome change, but she still isn't firm enough. To make her message more firm:
The first paragraph needs to be taken out. You can't say voting is pointless (true) while hyping up this election at the same time.
"There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other." That's just her capitulating to lesser-evilers. Trump isn't "way more dangerous" than Harris at all outside of him being a shittier imperialist to the imperialist project. As Black revolutionary Imam Jamil Al-Amin said, "Evil is evil. There's nothing in between that."
"With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option." She needs to get rid of the "only."
To me, it looks like either her original message was a lot firmer but got watered down by one of her close associates who changed her mind/edited the message or she is personally conflicted and hasn't fully crossed the bridge to give up on lesser-evilism.
what if greta was one of us
Invite her to hexbear and crash the site lol
She's a good kid, giving me hope for the future.
