The Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by Israel and reportedly maltreated by her Israeli captors after she was kidnapped, along with hundreds of other activists, from Gaza’s territorial waters on Friday.
When did she do that? I’ve lways thought of her as liberal with rich parents who get’s to do high-publicity protests that achieve nothing and distract from the economic problem.
Y’all got to take the word “distract” out of your vocabulary. Israel is not committing genocide to distract from the Epstein files.
I don’t really know or care much about Greta Thuneberg. But I wouldn’t criticize her unless my activism was objectively more effective than hers…and I don’t think that describes either of us.
That might have been the case some years ago when she was very young, but it is clear that her political consciousness has evolved significantly since then. How many of us can say that we held the same political views as teenagers as we do now?
I think the opposite. The climate thing hasn’t been working as well, so they are flipping to the other side of the coin to push their authoritarianism.
Or maybe I just have an American bias. I’m too use to watching the false dichotomy see-sawing ever couple decades.
They abandoned her around the time her environmental protests started being a little too effective. I mean disruptive.

Looked like she was always pushing the marxist position to me. I mean, this mostly started when she was playing with the EU “aristocracy”.

it happens… some people put a lot of effort into it at a young age. Although looking back, I now realize that that wasn’t normal.
Wasn’t that also when she started being critical of the impact of capitalism on the environment? 🤔
It’s going to always come down to wealth inequality, which is bred by unregulated capitalism, which is bribed into existence by money in politics.
And getting politicians to reject money is impossible since they don’t want to end up on the eating side of the inequality gap.
