For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

I think the media coverage drop off is due to her getting older (and thus more "ordinary" - less newsworthy), and due to her not changing her issues or opinions much (and thus there is nothing "new," to report). Our newstainment system wants new and fresh and cute. Not serious and persistent.
Nah. She just doesn't really have anything to say. "Carbon bad" isn't really a message in 2025.
She's an activist in that she gets arrested a lot but there's plenty of people really achieving things that don't have the social media clout she does.
She also doesn't have any special credibility. Why would you interview a serial protester when you could interview an expert.
As an aside I've learned that any thing less than breathless support for her on lemmy will earn a deluge of downvotes. So have at me dweebs - express your support for this tapped out child star with your spiciest downvote.
Whining about downvotes? That's a downvote.
Sometimes i even downvote people i agree with for bitching about downvotes lmao
Hah. Not whining at all. Just acknowledging that my opinion on this is not a popular one, while antagonising the 14 year olds who admire her.
I'm 45 and I'm inclined to agree with most of what she says.
51 and same, but maybe I'm just naive in wanting a world where my future grandchildren might be able to see a field full of fireflies once again.
I didn't say I don't agree with her. I'm saying she doesn't have any special credibility. I'd rather hear from an expert on climate change and mitigation thanks.
She hit the news 7 years ago. Anyone that has heard about her is likely voting age by now. Shaking your fist at the clouds?
News about her generally irritates conservatives who go out of their way to criticize and mock her. So I while I am generally aware of her and admire her commitment to the environment, her ability to get press that annoys the conservative ultra capitalists who hate windmills and solar fields gives me joy. She just triggers them while never thinking about them.
You're a whiner and an AH
Sure mate.
