  • Ah yes, war in Ukraine, very relevant to the climate crisis. I think she's gone the "Neil de Grasse Tyson way" of being famous for a thing and just hopping onto whatever is tangentially related and popular right now. Disappointing, but what would you expect from lib group that thinks they invented striking, and have no tangible demands? She's not relevant and the only reason libs think she is is because she's a white European who obeys the law. Go ask what they think of the (still very mild) Extinction Rebellion.

      Well put, comrade. Never paid attention to her even when she first came up, because that was my immediate impression. She's the literal embodiment of white, middle-class European bourgeois sentiment.

      As for mixing climate activism and the Ukraine war, I've actually seen quite a few speeches and contributions by climate-focused orgs on peace demonstrations outlining the absurd damage of militaries and this war specifically on the environment. It is possible to combine the two to make genuine anti-capitalist, anti-war points. She simply chooses not to.

      Just look at their response to the "Last Generation" (misguided libs gluing themselves to streets to form human roadblocks; damaged some paintings). German politicans literally compared them to the fucking RAF lmao

      • She’s the literal embodiment of white, middle-class European bourgeois sentiment.

        She is the child of famous Swedish actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman (who represented Sweden in Eurovision 2009), so when she got famous I suspected it was some kind of stunt pushed by her parents as, like with many rich and privileged people, they probably had plenty of contacts on their deck to be able to garner media attention. It doesn't surprise me that she and her family would be the milquetoast white liberal Swedes that they are.

  • She's either compromised, or was always a flytrap. I shudder to guess between the two.

    • I think she's just a liberal who doesn't understand the underlying dialectic in play, and as someone revered by liberals, they ask her to go on a trip to support Ukraine, she shrugs her shoulders and says sure why not. I'd like to think it comes from ignorance on her part but it doesn't matter.

      • Of course she is, but being in the topic, no way she didn't saw for example Hersh report, yet she still didn't condemned USA but USA's enemies. At this point she should be losing the benefit of doubt.
