Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she's hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.

people need symbols, that's how you rule them
Symbols inspire.
also release energy instead of accumulating
also rally people and show them that it is possible to change things, give hope,...

Goddamn you're dumb
thank you

I'm ruled by a small autistic woman from Sweden? If you say so...
she inspired me to go vegan as I believe that it is a positive action for the environment and society.
She's a person who has the courage to stand by her convictions. Some people feel threatened by it, some people feel insecure about themselves because they lack the strength to do what she does. Much respect to her.
