She's got more guts than the idiots who mock & criticise her.

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

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 35 points 1 month ago

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.

What a brave woman.

[-] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

Hey, someone trying to do something that isn't for themselves. No wonder conservatives hate her guts.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

Okay, that's definitely suicidal though. Like, is she actually expecting to get through? The Israelis are executing medics and children over there.

[-] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 month ago

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!

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

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

[-] NewDark@lemmings.world 19 points 1 month ago

They celebrate her death in Israel by making pancakes.

Deeply unwell society.

She’s not the first to try. Israel doesn’t want a repeat of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla from 2010. Israel will sabotage her boat so she can’t sail. Greta won‘t get anywhere near Gaza.

Breaching a naval blockade in times of war is very serious business.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 37 points 1 month ago

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

I was in my mid 30s when Greta came onto the world stage and I want to be like her when I grow up...

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

It's clear that the israelis are free to murder who they like. Only the risk of negative publicity dissuades them and since most corporate media is Zionist supporting, this really makes everyone who stands up to these monsters a potential target.
