The Reason People Hate Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg has devoted her life to justice and morality, and in doing so, she exposes the immorality of people who seek injustice.
Actually, she is a professional activist and making a very good living off of it.
She is among the best of us, and she brings attention to causes that people find uncomfortable or are ideologically committed to opposing.
You mean by hopping on a boat with minimal alleged aid for Gazans, with her and her group consuming much of it along the way.
People who are morally bankrupt hate a do-gooder, because they cynically believe people should be in it for themselves and not for the good of others.
Nobody hates the homely twit. She is just a minor annoyance that excites woke libruls. The rest of us largely ignore her.
 
Is this guy a money ignoramus?



:rolleyes:

OF COURSE! I have met only one or two R/D politicians in my life who truly under$tand. Both of them were state reps...

Btw, I define 'monetary ignoramus' as a person who doesn't understand who creates money/dollars and how they are created and destroyed...
 
Relevant video. It talks about how right-wing weirdos mock and wish harm on Greta for trying to stop a genocide.

 
What makes her a "legit good person"?

For one, trying to stop a genocide and risking legit harm in doing so.


You just said that she doesn't have to participate in saving the planet because she's doing big important stuff.

Um, are you capable of reading?
 
Greta is a privileged, sheltered, obnoxious twat who travels the world on the bank of mom and dad to lecture working people about how she thinks they should live.

Translation: Right-wing reactionary herpaderp. Zero substance.
 
Greta Thunberg comes across much like a child movie star who is no longer adorable, and has to up the ante to find some new way to stay relevant. David Hogg followed a similar path.

In a certain sense, I feel bad for them. But only in a certain sense. These are now grown-ass adults who are choosing to be charlatans in exchange for money and/or fame.

How is Greta Thunberg a charlatan? By not being an ascetic monk living on a desert island?

Lol. Ill take Worst Possible Take for $1000 Alex.
 
What do you think you’re accomplishing here by zealously defending that harpy? She can’t see you. She doesn’t even know you exist.

Exposing people like you for what you really are, and promoting legit good people. I don't need a reward. The effort is the reward.
 
I remember people (right-wingers and Israeli apologists) saying that Rachel Corrie won the Darwin Award for trying to stop the bulldozing of Palestinian homes, and ultimately dying as a result. These people are DISGUSTING.
 
What makes her a "legit good person"? You just said that she doesn't have to participate in saving the planet because she's doing big important stuff. And yet her main claim to fame is shouting at others about saving the planet. Sounds like a Catch-22. You like her because she scolds people about climate change, while excusing her own hypocrisy on the issue because she's too important to be subjected to the same moral code.

You sound precisely like the people who approvingly listen to televangelists shrieking about sexual degeneracy, even as those same televangelists are secretly visiting prostitutes. Hypocrites, all of you.

Ohhh, you're doing the thing.

Do you actually care about improving society at a systemic level, or do you just want to attack everyone else who does because they are forced to participate in these systems and you can always call them out as hypocrites when they do so?

Not a single word said against Israel, who kidnapped Greta Thunberg from international waters.

Congratulations, you have exposed me for being a normal human being. How much fossil fuel do you suppose it takes to support your pointless virtue signaling effort from behind a keyboard?
 
I hope she pukes her guts out when she watched the videos of what Hamas did to Israel.

“I congratulate the IDF for the quick and safe takeover of the ‘Madleen’ flotilla to prevent them from breaking the blockade and reaching the shores of Gaza,” Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said on X.​
“I instructed the IDF to show the flotilla passengers the video of the horrors of the October 7 massacre when they arrive at the port of Ashdod,” he wrote.
“It is appropriate that the anti-Semitic Greta and her fellow Hamas supporters see exactly who the Hamas terrorist organization they came to support and for whom they work is, what atrocities they committed against women, the elderly, and children, and against whom Israel is fighting to defend itself,” he explained.​

Do you acknowledge that it's possible to go too far in reacting to October 7th? What is too far in your book? Killing every man, woman, and child in Gaza?

The U.S. was attacked on 9/11 by the Taliban. We didn't bomb Kabul into dust.

It seems that you believe what Hamas did on October 7th justifies anything and everything the Israelis do. Is that your moral position?

Greta isnt anti semetic.

Calling everyone who criticizes Israrael anti semitic is a really dumb lie, and hurts the cause.
 
Is that why she has... continued to engage in the exact same kind of activism since she was a teenager? :rolleyes:
I mean, before it was mainly limited to climate change, which was her big thing. OK, fair enough. What does protesting in Gaza have to do with climate change? If she's just one more voice for the "omnicause" that's fine, she's an adult who can do what she wants, but it's definitely a pivot. It could just as easily be abortion rights or immigration or a half-dozen other things.
:rolleyes:

I'm reluctant to speak for others, but: I'm quite confident they would easily dismiss your pity.
That's fine, I meant it to be pretty dismissive.
By the way, I've never seen Thunberg ask for donations. She certainly doesn't sell merch. I guess she sucks at being a "charlatan" and hustler. :LOL:
Maybe. I don't know her financial situation, but there are other forms of payment such as fame and/or social media likes.
I guess she should get some lessons from the conspiracy theorists, liars and maniacs populating the right wing. Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck... the list goes on.
Yup. There are always plenty of entertainers willing to capitalize on dumb people by telling them what they want to hear, regardless of political lean. There's a market for performative activism and charlatans of all political stripes.
 
How is Greta Thunberg a charlatan? By not being an ascetic monk living on a desert island?
My default assumption is that most performative activists of all political stripes are charlatans. Then add to that the hypocrisy of her particular flavor of performative activism making climate change - which is (was?) her main cause - worse, and it's clear that at the very least, she doesn't actually mean what she says.
 
The haters STILL want her to stay in her place.
It's okay, I doubt she cares one whit about the opinions of a wacky MAGA electoral fraud conspiracy theorist who believes in cat-eating Haitians and cancerous windmills.
