    a decade after her death, shitlibs will sanitise her, chop off a couple sound bites, and say she always agreed with them. then forget everything she stood for.

      No not even close. I mean no disrespect to Greta nor do I want to diminish her accomplishments in any way. The risk at which she does this is however incomparable to the Scholl siblings. There has never been the risk of a death sentence or anything remotely close to that.

        There is a high chance she will be killed by Israel for her attempt at helping Palestine.

        Greta is also choosing to do this. She has ever, chance to … just not do it. Sofi had no say in her situation.

          I mean I will agree that the chance for that is bigger than zero, but it would be so freaking dumb to do. Many European countries have started to rethink their ties to Israel. They are evil, but not that stupid.

          Nah, low chance she gets purposefully killed by Israel, she’s way too high profile and white for that to happen.

          If she were a low level journalist or middle-eastern, she’s a goner, but she’s wrapped in enough privilege to make it politically non-viable to kill her.

          There is a chance because they no longer seems to care to pretend there not evil, however they very much know what she is trying, they know everyone knows they know she is coming.

          The only way she will get killed is on purpose, the nature of her actions are too publicly political to be an accident.

          They definitely will try to stop and scare her. But the chance of death is not “high” in this case.

          Its similar to political officials visiting gaza. They will do things nearby to scare them but there not dumb enough to get them killed.

      Consistently fighting for personal rights and environmental equality.

      Not to mention she’s able to shrug off the obscene amount of hate she gets, so it’s pretty obvious she really believes in what she fights for.

      More of a hero than anyone else within 30 years her age.

      She helped Germany de-provision their nuclear energy via emotion driven policy, so they could inevitably deploy coal to avoid deindustrialization.

    Shouldn’t she be wearing a life jacket if she’s going to be posing on the edge of the boat like that?

    I think she prefers sail boats rather than fuel burning boats, so it’s going to be difficult for them to turn around and pick her up if she falls in.

      Greta: “what about no longer killing the planet? Or children, for that matter?”

      Jaybone: “Yeah, but maybe you could first wear something I consider appropriate? Then we can talk.”

        He is right though, please at all times wear life jackets on boats - regardless if that is on sailing or motorised vessels! It is extremely hard to stay afloat and alive until the crew is in a state to help. It happens way too often and even to experienced sailors.

          Being right doesn’t make it appropriate. The context of a message is important and having such a statement about such a person in such a situation met with a comment like that is ridiculous.

      Sailboats have motors that can reverse. No it isn’t hard to turn around unless they’re in a savage storm or extremely large waves. Which judging by the picture they aren’t. At all.

      The smaller the ship the easier it is to maneuver.
