As ever, centrists are just fascists when scratched.
Calling these people centrists is insulting to centrists lol
The centralists would take offence, but you know, they kind of can't really.
that would entail them taking a position on something, which gives them terrible heartburn.
The liberal establishment always abandons effective fellow liberals. Sanders, Mamdani, Thunberg…they’re actually trying to do something. That makes the established neolibs look ineffective and upsets their donors. So they turn their backs on the rabble rousers.

This is where there really is a distinction between "liberal" and "leftist" or "progressive."
I would not call any of those three people "liberals."
Greta could have become a very rich liberal grifter.
keep them Davos cheques coming in.
instead she's risking her life to help those humanity has abandoned.

They abandoned her around the time her environmental protests started being a little too effective. I mean disruptive.
they abandoned her right around the time she started to notice she wouldn't be effective unless she started attacking capitalism as the root cause.
Wasn't that also when she started being critical of the impact of capitalism on the environment? 🤔
This isn’t at all to say her original stance was misguided. It is to say that she recognises genocide and ecocide come from the same root. Systems of power that destroy ecosystems also destroy people, also destroy planets, also destroy worlds. She is in many ways simply displaying a logical consistency, as much as a moral one, about the interconnected nature of the evils that plague our civilisation. And this is where she broke with a liberal class who see evils selectively and in terms framed and dictated by empire.
hear hear! Too many people who love the “first they came for” poem who still think Palestine is a pesky wedge issue being used against their boys in blue.
On the other hand look at the Right wing Clowns celebrating the kidnapping of Greta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TX2tu6J0JY
I may not like Greta, but credit where credit is due, She's brave. (Also Fuck NuxTaku you zionist pig, I heard your family is in Israel)
She's not that rowdy little girl anymore. Now she's a fierce young woman.
So of course they abandoned her.
They dropped her the very moment it became clear she's an actual leftist and wasn't just this little kid talking about climate change.
Liberal ‘leaders’ abandonment. There needs to be an understanding that leadership is no longer following the will of the people in the United States. On either the left or the right. This fact is more of a cause of why things are so crazy than anything the people are doing or wanting
At least in the United States
Also: Israel is currently a terrorist state
