      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.

            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.

      No single person should be your moral barometer.

      Stanning is bad.

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

        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…

      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.

    Young people are prone to believing propaganda from Hamas because they haven’t been reading the news for a few decades to understand the context. Though you’d think Hamas massacring villages would get people up to speed. But when memes about Palestinians=good, Jews=bad has been circulating the internet for most of someone’s formative years, it’s hard to break out of this pattern.

    Every fourth generation has antisemitism problems because they likely never even met someone who has seen the effects of it. Gaza now looks like the cities of Germany looked like at the end of WWII. Hatred causes destruction, and many times it cause the destruction of one’s self.

    Don’t hate Jews, kids. Jews aren’t our enemies. Those that promote hatred towards Jews are pulling you into something you really don’t want to be a part of.

      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.
