She's got more guts than most, even those like me who respect and agree with her, and fear for her life.

People who mock her just blow my mind. Even worse when she was still underage. People were like: yeah i put a "Fuck Greta" sticker on my shitty car, that will teach that 15 year old girl to shut the fuck up.

Our shitbag politicians in the US even nag her, Lindsey Graham tweeted about 'hoping they know how to swim.' I hope Lindsey Graham falls down some stairs and never gets up.

There is dying, and there is dying a good death.

Greta Thunberg will die a good death. And Thurberg will be one of the few of us that our descendants can point to show that humanity had at least one fan.

Her actions are guarantee to that.

I'm monitoring that bloat in a online tracker, I'm stressed too.

if a fraction of us were a fraction of her the would be a much better place.

Let's not call being ready to give your life for a cause being suicidal. Desperate, sure, but not that

Following the incident, an Israeli military investigation concluded that Corrie's death was the result of an accident and that the bulldozer operator had limited visibility.

We investigated ourselves and found that we didn't murderl her, and that we aren't committing genocide. Hurray!

Damn, I never heard of her before, thank you for sharing

We're talking about it 20 years later, hope more people read it. RIP.

but by placing notable people in there (who are genuinely risking their lives) will bring more attention, deter an attack, and bring so much more attention if there's one.

True bravery is using yourself as a human shield. unlike the mosquito protocol

She was also immediately identified as such a threat to status-quo that a lot of effort went into associating her name with "cringe" and people pushed that kind of reaction real hard and it worked. I cannot believe how many arguments I had with other environmental leftists and liberals on places like reddit who hated her but had no idea why.

"Her message is great, but maybe we don't want her representing these causes" is the line a lot of people defaulted to, and when pressed, proceeded to drop the flimsiest and most half-assed reasoning like "Well her parents are wealthy so it looks bad" or "she's going to be a distraction" and other nonsense where people simply couldn't connect the lines and realize they were already influenced by manufactured "online reactions" and memes that associated her name with a "child doing public speaking" which makes people really uncomfortable.

Now she's an adult, she's remained consistent in her tone, messaging and passion, and people STILL connect her to "child making an ugly face while shaming grown ups" and this is why she's in so much danger right now. She's a threat to power and they used a lot of their bigger cards to smear her enough that a large portion of the world wouldn't mourn if she were "accidentally" killed in service of her messages.

Oof, they got him

Better watch out for

Omg ~~she~~ Israel is gonna ~~get herself~~ kill~~ed~~ her
