Some people spend half their life reposting propaganda on social media behind fake profiles for free. She at least owns up to her beliefs.
Zionists hate her because she supports justice for Palestinians rather than staying silent
And if she got a “real” job people would call her a nepo baby. There is no winning with these insane people. Not to mention she doesn’t even come from a rich family.
I never understood why she receives so much attention. She doesn't have any notable achievements, expertise, or controversies. She's like the most lukewarm western activist there is. It truly is odd that out of all the activists out there, this is the one that receives the most hate and the most glaze.
i think it’s because she is a young women that shamed the elites on the global stage.
it’s because the republicans could not let it go
Have made a few searches on Greta Thunberg and her parents and they are not “rich”. They are better off than average in Sweden but calling them rich is a bit of a stretch.
Is this the classic misdirection where anyone who isn't poor is classified as rich so you can incite them against policies that would target "the rich", when they're actually two or three orders of magnitude away from being (negatively) affected by those policies?
Imagine saying that to Batman 😂
That's actually a thing!
IIRC, the idea is that many of the people Batman beats up are just desperate, and not evil, so instead using all that Bruce Wayne money on healthcare, rehabilitation, housing, and other services that benefit the poor would decrease the amount of crime way more than going around punching people ever would.
Bruce spends billions on healthcare, charities, homeless programs, food banks, and endless and countless other things to help
That's literally the entire point of the Bruce Wayne persona. He's a rich playboy that gives away endless money for good deeds.
As far as I know Bruce has tons of charities and uses a lot of his money to help improve lifes. But gotham is cursed
And for anyone not familiar, Gotham is literally cursed. Like, dark wizards and demons cursed.
Too bad Bruce already does this with his fortunes and has set up so many charities, homeless centers, orphanages, work centers, ... He even helped a couple of goons get a job at Wayne enterprise.
It is only because Gotham is literally cursed that it does not work.
So the people who say that really never read any of the comics.
I'm usually absolutely not interested in any superhero and their lore but how is Gotham cursed?
I don't read comics either... but yeah Gotham being "cursed" to be crime ridden no matter what does sound like bit of a dog whistle lol.
Cursed as in occult origins, not cursed as in bad luck
Just the like the US is just cursed with gun violence and there's nothing that can be done about it
Nah, America is cursed because it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground, and they only moved the grave markers while leaving the bodies there.
Using the phrase "useless activism" says everything we need to know about the poster.
Criticising someone for trying to make the world a better place makes you the most pathetic loser on the face of the planet.
I peeped their Twitter account and they're absolutely a trash human being.
How can you take her seriously when she doesn't even generate value for her capitalist overlords?
Christ I’m so disgusted with people scapegoating her with all of their worst-faith notions about political protest and activism. First of all she’s the most benign target of all time to go attack maliciously. Secondly, in their zeal to shit on her, people shit on the entire idea of civil protest and standing up against government and corporations for what you believe in. Even Trump dipshits should have an ounce of respect for that, no matter who you are.
Both sentiments are perfectly valid. I think people are just expressing disappointment with wealth inequality in general, not building criticisms of either option.
yeah, people not doing activism calling activism useless. sure, cope harder.
Calling any kind of activism "useless" is pretty evil in my opinion.
I like the way you think and I wish I could share it, but I've met some real shitty activists. The protest outside of planned parenthood type, and honestly useless is about the kindest thing I can say about them.
Helping other people -sometimes by putting yourself in active danger- is so..... selfish and privileged????
Seriously, I'd love to hear this person's idea of what someone with generational wealth should be doing to be a good person.
They're probably self-deprecating to the point where they see her trying to help and feel inadequate for not being able to do the same. They understand that she has the resources to do so and they don't, but those feelings of inadequacy still don't go away, so they just want her to be gone so that they don't have to feel that way anymore.
I see that line of thinking all the time in people who have internalized the American propaganda of "work hard and you'll find success." They can't process the fact that they're working as hard as they can without achieving success, so they rebel against the idea of success itself regardless of how its used, because they see that as easier to topple than the broken system that causes the issue in the first place.
They're in such distress that they no longer care about whether we're moving forward or backward as a society, so long as they feel a bit better right now. It's exactly where the elite want us to be.
They're pretty obviously a Zionist troll, paid or not, and as such they will never argue in good faith nor have basic moral standards.
