      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?

          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.

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

            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.

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

        I just think it’s weird to prop up a child as a spokesperson. (When she first became popular)

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

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

    Who’s silent on this? It’s easily the biggest story on the planet right now.

      A lot of people are denying that it’s a genocide, despite all the obvious facts. And those people are the ones in power in many western countries.

        If it was obvious why didn’t the Court issue a cease and desist order like they did for Russia? Seems like they’d use the power available to them if the accusations were plainly evident wouldn’t they?

      Support for Palestine does not equal antisemitism. And it’s incredibly problematic that that’s what you’ve implied here.

      It’s actually more like Hamas = bad Israel = worse Palestinians = victims of genocide

      I wouldn’t label whole ethnicities as good or bad.

      It’s funny how you ridicule the young for believing in propaganda, whilst spewing it yourself.

      Jews aren’t my enemies, and I’m pretty happy about that because I see what they do to families of their enemies.

      Doesn’t matter what faith or religious persuasion, killing children is wrong. It’s not that hard of a moral compass.

        I can’t disagree with that but I never understood where she came from and we she is such an authority figure
