    If you go check out conservative communities on the internet, you’ll find and endless stream of men talking about sexual violence towards Greta. It’s really disturbing and gives you an idea of how their brain works.

      So here is a trick, when you hear about people saying that they are on the left but are tired of hearing about her, you can tell they are full of shit. Why? Because actual media will report on her actions because she has celebrity activist status. But they stop when the events stop. Conservatives media will harp on her in a creepy way for months without any pushing. Am radio will drop her name like they blame Obama for covid.

        High school thinking would dictate that they were attracted to her from the get-go. As in when she was 16. I’ve seen too much evidence to not just put that thought to bed. These folks project like a flashlight.

      I’ve seen some absolutly crazy shit from Alberta consevatives a couple of years ago. Basically bumper stickers calling for the rape of a 16 years old. And these people think of themself as representative of familly values and freedom of speech. We got to get ready to throw some punches folks, some people are beyond saving.

      They neither have the balls nor any desire. Our leaders are, to a one, weak men and women seeking only to shove as much money in their pockets as possible before their hopefully swift and "un"timely guillotine-enabled deaths.

      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.

        Eehhh, she’s on a boat sailing to deliver supplies to Gaza. Do you know what Israelis do to people that do this? They shoot at government representatives from allied countries that come to observe, they murder journalists for breakfast, and there is an extremely realistic chance she will be murdered or maimed as the Israeli army doesn’t give a shit about who she is or what she’s about to do. They’ll murder her and then come up with some bullshit story about how violent she was.

        This is an army that slaughtered ambulance workers that came to a call to help. A boy who was captured before saw this and was murdered only days after as the ambulance thing became a bit of a news problem. This is an army of psychopaths that don’t give a shit.

        To say that there isn’t a death sentence at the end of this trip is disingenuous.

        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.

      Ditched this platform 3 months ago. Thought I’d swing by and see if it’s improved. You’ve been down voted to hell for asking a question. Because you dared to not just blinded worship some child. The left’s worship of her is like when weirdo conservatives were praising Rittenhouse.

      This place isn’t going to change. A left wing hell hole for the alt left to jerk each other off.

      ?

      So unless you’re rich, you can’t protest? Unless you’re rich, you can’t make your voice heard?

      As I understand it, her parents are well off but I don’t see them being insanely rich. I also see Greta herself basicat not spending all that much as she actually seems to put her money where her mouth is; something not seen often anymore.

      It makes it a lot easier for sure if your parents have some money, but it’s not a requirement.

      Comments like yours distract from the actual fact that she is actually sailing straight at an actual marine fleet from a country known to actually murder anyone that tries to stop them from committing actual fucking genocide. There is an actual non zero chance that she’ll be dead or maimed before this is over and she knows this and is there anyway.

      This woman has balls of weapons grade uranium and any talks about her progenity is distracting and disgusting bullshit that has zero to do with the actual subject

      Hypothetically, if there is a movement for real social change or some kind of revolution in the future it will need some amount of money. Having allies who have money and are willing to use it on the right causes is pretty important. Alienating them is not helpful.

    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.

      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.

        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.

      Yes, you probably should be wearing a life jacket on deck. Although the boat may be at anchor, in which case it would be pretty easy for her to climb back on.
