All those years of being exposed to neoliberal elites and she's seemingly made it through. You love to see itsicko-wholesome

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 75 points 8 months ago

Seeing first hand how useless it was to talk to them even when they patiently smiled at her, letting her do her thing, could have two outcomes. Either she deludes herself in thinking that she's on the brink of changing everything, or she realises she needs to make threats

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago

She was always making threats. "If you choose to fail us we will never forgive you"

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 8 months ago

Her forgiveness isn't something they care about, the real threat is guns and gulags

[-] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Yeah that's implied.

It's a gen z version of we ask no quarter for we will give no quarter. When our time comes we will not apologize for the terror.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

This.

Why did the wall street pigs make me a tankie? I just wanted to raise a healthy family.

protect the planet from climate change

overthrow the whole capitalist system

same-picture

[-] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 47 points 8 months ago

It really is

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 96 points 8 months ago

Always said her trajectory was toward communist. You get a sense for this shit. That same trajectory has been visible across the entire climate left, give them time and help them along in a friendly way, the ones genuinely looking for a solution will develop leftwards while the ones that are just performative will stay liberal, you could always see Greta was completely sincere about her desire to save the planet.

It wasn't helped by the fact that she became a target of the right for bullying. When that shit happens it swings people left very hard in a "fuck you then I'm allied with whoever wants you dead" response, that response is even harder with teenagers.

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Ditto. My immediate response to news about her was that she was naive to think capitalism would let her implement climate solutions, even if she knows what they are, but they just kept holding her up as a hero. Speaking from my own experience with autism and special interests, I was confident that the neoliberal response of amplifying her message without acting on it was only going to piss her off immensely and result in her looking more closely at how capitalism prevents the implementation of solutions.

"How dare you" all but confirmed she already was or was about to become radicalised.

[-] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago

I hope she doesn't get into Western Anarchism

[-] Moss@hexbear.net 89 points 8 months ago

The effort to bring her into the pantheon of neoliberal heroes was crazy. They had her speak at the UN and meet with so many politicians, and so clearly tried to get her on their side. But she actually has values, so she couldn't become another prop for them. Fucking based.

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

I was a big doubter of her when that happened. It's fuckingCommiePOGGERS when the lib gambit doesn't work.

[-] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 85 points 8 months ago

Damn I didn't have a lot of faith but she smoked my predictions that she was a useful tool.

Hell yeah

[-] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

That was the goal, but she actually has convictions and doesn't give a shit about the talking points they try and feed her.

They'll probably try and drop her eventually, but they have her so much clout it's gonna take a bit.

[-] Comp4@hexbear.net 84 points 8 months ago

I cant wait for Greta to send me to the Gulag for being a liberal isaac-pog

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 83 points 8 months ago

I love being wrong when it comes to stuff like this

Shellenberg is an absolute ghoul. You know what he's not? An M.D.

[-] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago

He's just a fan of Maryland.

[-] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 67 points 8 months ago

She's getting more based day by day, you go girl!

[-] Tabitha@hexbear.net 61 points 8 months ago

Didn't think the guy from Scrubs would be a chud but there you go.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

Oh, I thought this was a tweet bragging about how cool she is. data-laughing

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago

The hogs are gonna love this

[-] Raphael@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

But does she condemn Hamas ?

[-] Bay_of_Piggies@hexbear.net 34 points 8 months ago

This was from 2022 for context, happy she has kept up with this though

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago

thinky-felix i wonder if catastrophic climate change and the capitalist system is somehow related

[-] Haas@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 8 months ago

Greta go on hexbear

[-] Poogona@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Environmental issues were what made me a lefty so I'm happy she is going down the pipeline, the good one

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Who'd a thunk that saying we should care about the environment and being the global laughingstock by the western hivemind would make them want to take away their treats?

[-] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

I always believed in Greta

Comrade Thunberg lead the vanguard I am ready

[-] Chapo_is_Red@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

iirc, these comments are a year or two old. I would be curious how her political education has developed since then.
