This will certainly rile the rightwingers. They have hated Greta since she stepped into the spotlight and anything she talks about.

All they want is to destroy the planet and carry out their genocides in peace. Is that really too much to ask?

[-] rammer@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 months ago

The planet will be fine. Humans on the other hand not so much. The planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable by humans. The genocides are just hurrying that process along.

I wouldn’t be so sure that “the planet” will be fine. All the species of animals and plants that we know and love will likely go extinct. Even if we do survive like the little cockroaches we are (in the best way possible) we’re never gonna see this world again. It will be dead forever. We will be alone, in a world filled with life that we never learned to love and know. Truly aliens on an alien planet.

The tardigrades will be fine!

Damn.... You make genocides sound like a good thing for the earth.

Fuck pop politics regardless of sides... It's all wack power games. Real people are real regardless of law.

I appreciate what Ms. Thunberg does and says. She's my moral barometer.

[-] Jordan_U@lemmy.ml 55 points 4 months ago

No single person should be your moral barometer.

Stanning is bad.

(I also appreciate everything I've heard of Greta Thunberg saying and doing.)

[-] ULS@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Truth.

In the kind words of Immortal Technique, and I quote...;

"I'm just a man, don't follow me nigga."

I'm sure Greta says the same in other words. ...or maybe even the same words if she's around her close group of friends...

[-] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

because she's Illuminati, right?

[-] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

Because when the media becomes fixated upon a child like that, they're likely being exploited. Doubly so with the children of celebrities as Greta is.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

who are her parents?

[-] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Her Mum and Dad

Oh no a young woman famous for climate activism said something. Bust out your pitchforks, chuds.

[-] jag@slrpnk.net 12 points 4 months ago

hell yeah!

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Anybody else a bit concerned that Greta seems to be doing the Benjamin Button thing?
