    She got media attention by the libs for pissing off the conservatives.

    This is a very naive understanding of how ‘media attention’ works under capitalism. greta doesn’t spontaneously become an internet sensation it was carefully planned, you can read more about this here

    I don’t understand the last paragraph of your comment greta is not our friend that we can ‘push to our side’ during a dinner conversation, you seem to have developed some parasocial feelings for her. but that’s fine i will not hate or reject potential comrades like you for being impacted by western propaganda

      I wasn’t just talking about her I was talking about how we react to people in general. This is just one example of someone makes a stupid comment or something and unless we know they are acting in bad faith we should be more cautious about reacting with such vitrol as I have seen here and elsewhere.

      I didn’t know the background of where she got started. I didn’t rly care. My thoughts on the subject was “oh look a climate change activist that is popular and said a few based things. That’s cool. Maybe they will keep being based.” Which then turned to disappointment but I felt some comments were being a bit harsh. This was the first thing I’ve seen of her being a major lib and falling in line with western narratives but then I don’t follow ppl like this… Or anyone for that matter. This site is like 90% of my exposure to what’s going on in the world.
