Greta Tankberg countdown: 
Edit: 170 comments 
Having met Greta through our respective autism support communities, it feels weird that I still think of her as a kid. She can buy alcohol now!
I had a good feeling she'd end up a comrade.
She's amazing.
Has she ever pointed out that the main economic reason that the US needs Israel is to destabilize Middle Eastern countries with large oil reserves? I think that's a really powerful argument for her audience and I'm a little sad not to see her explain that connection here.
Honestly, I'm glad to see a change. For all my life, I've heard "oil oil oil" behind every US action, and while that might be part of the thing, it's far from the whole picture and her tweet calling imperialism by its name is kinda what we need if you ask me
True, but imperialism is a pretty abstract concept and a general audience always does better to understand what it means concretely. Most people think imperialism means any kind of military conflict between a big country and a small country, not the monopoly stage of capitalism.
There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other
In no way judging Greta here, but I have doubts 
Dick Cheney scares me far more than Donald Trump does. Cheney has caused far more death and destruction, and is much more effective in his evil deeds. When both candidates are pro-war and genocide, I think the side with Dick Cheney’s endorsement scares me more.
This is compounded by the fact that Republicans face more opposition than Democrats when they do evil things, and Trump more than the average Republican. Do you think the George Floyd protests would’ve been nearly as big if Biden had been president at the time? Absolutely not. Both at an institutional and public level, Trump, by nature of being icky, pisses people off and it makes his schemes harder to pull off. When Biden does the exact same things, he does them to thunderous applause.
Roe was overturned under Biden. More people have been deported by Biden. Biden ended covid protections, and more people have died from covid because of him. And most importantly, Biden is the architect of the Gazan genocide.
I’ve said before that voting for Kamala over Trump is voting to re-elect Hitler to prevent Goebbels from getting into office, but I’m starting to think it’s more like voting for Hitler to prevent Kaiser Wilhelm from getting back into office. Like yeah, he sucked dick and did a bunch of evil shit, but Hitler is currently doing the Holocaust.
I don't really get the idea that people are somehow going to be 'more against' the genocide in Gaza because Trump is in office. Sure, people protested for George Floyd. You know what they didn't protest at all? The killing of Soleimani. In fact I can't think of a single foreign policy initiative that liberals protested other than the visit with Kim Jong-Un, the only good foreign policy thing that Trump did during his presidency.
The people that are currently protesting the Gaza genocide will continue to protest no matter who is in office. The people who are not are not going to have some sort of come to Jesus moment because the cheeto got elected.
Well I'll be goddamned. I genuinely didn't think she'd ever have it in her to get even this far.
Well, the autism is a bit of a boost in actually getting to the root of the problem rather than getting stuck in the neurotypical bounds of respectability and milque toast solutions.
Greta progressively getting more based is fun to see, maybe the kids are alright?
Waiting for the inevitable "Greta is a Russian assett" think piece.
Or in a more infantilizing way "Has been influenced by Russian propaganda"
sitting this election out by voting third party
Voting is actually not voting you see, but also not voting is actually voting
Incredible, all of the 
lib talking points, complete with a promise to stand by and watch
Someone in the replies called her a selfish white supremacist and got (as of now) 34 likes for it. Her copey ass response to it got much less than that, so that's something.
Palestine is suffering, yes,
White Supremacy. These motherfuckers have no solidarity, and will use LGBTQ and POC as a cudgel to maintain Empire. Rainbow Imperialism in a nutshell. 
Dear yankees? Didn't your ruling party, the dems, not do anything to protect those basic rights while in power? Seems like neither of your two big parties gives a shit about you.
This is why I say the two parties are american-supremacists vs white-supremacists.
This person fundamentally believes that american lives are more important and valuable than anyone else's lives around the world. They are an american-supremacist without self-awareness.
I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like "fuck you greta!" on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her "having gone too far" in hushed voices. Only ppl I've met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org
Shit, Hexbear is old. I remember people here discussing how we shouldn't be too critical of her because she was still a child. Now she's a young woman and we still shouldn't be too critical of her because she's right. I hope the rest of the generation tries to emulate it.
Just missing a little Maoist Standard English
I had her written off, but I'm down with Tankie Greta
I was like kid Greta as kid, but then turned into a lib as I got older. Glad she didn't make that mistake.
Marx's strongest marine (cause boats?)
The Greta arc hasn't been as dramatic as the Daou arc but I'm still here for it
She's a good kid, giving me hope for the future.
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
