Greta Tankberg countdown: 
Edit: 170 comments 
Greta Thunberg has been the most pleasant surprise of recent history. She is amazing.
Light itself, but like, unironically
I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like “fuck you greta!” on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her “having gone too far” in hushed voices. Only ppl I’ve met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org
How does one 23 year old with no army “go too far”?
Libs.
Libs are absolutely terrified of people saying stuff cause they think power is exchanged via west wing speeches
That’s why I’ve beentaking a study course in Old Enochian. Gonna start speaking unmentionable horrors (things that happened last week that dems have memory holed) in to being
Fuck, liberals actually think spells are real in the old timey finnish rap battle sense. We are so cooked.
Well you see it’s actually words and ideas that change the world <- Liberal ideology
Which is why we should let nazis say whatever they want, to demonstrate the strength of the concept of freedom of speech <- Also liberal ideology
But leftists need to shut the fuck up <- Still liberal ideology
It’s the mirror image of the reactionary “this kind of activism only pushes people away”
Idk if it ever aired outside the US but back in the 90s there was a kids show called Captain Planet and these five woke dei kids were like ring wraiths for Gaia and they’d like set oil executives and loggers on fire and if things got too tough they’d combine their ring powers to summer Captain Planet, a cheerful blue murder himbo who would use super powers to do eco-terrorism. This was a show for children! One regular ass tv! It could never happen today. Never. It wouldn’t be tolerated.
Oh, I’ve seen it too. Many shows back then had eco activism as a good thing, or at least oil execs as villains. I think even that weird “Motormice from Mars” show had an oil baron as the main antagonist.
And I don’t think it couldn’t happen now. Media, even when revolutionary on the surface, is barely driving real world engagement and can be easily defanged. We live in the revival era of anti-capitalist messaging in media (film and even video games), and yet it’s been fully consumed by capital. I hate Zizek and his clique, but Mark Fisher was spot on in Capitalist Realism.
Avatar, one of the biggest box office successes in the world, has a blatant anti-colonial message yet most people don’t apply it to the obvious parallells in the rral world. We just consume, feel good for a moment for agreeing with the obvious morally correct choice, then do fuck all about it. And execs know it.
sorry for the doomer note here
yet most people don’t apply it to the obvious parallells in the real world
Because they think they don’t live in that world. They can’t see the parallels because they see their world as flawless.
They think it’s all fictional and made-up, and that, because they are receiving their treats, they must therefore live in a utopia.
Legend of Korra really tanked the message of Avatar
Captain Planet, he’s our hero! Gonna take pollution down to zero!
It did come out of a time period when urban guerrillas had just stopped being active. Plane hijackings were still pretty normal. In the context of its’ time it was super chill, these days it’s no longer chill. Overton window and all that I guess.
An anti Hillary psy op it had to be stopped.
Well there’s The Harley Quinn Show but obviously the target audience is a bit different.
Lmao everyone around me says her parents forced her to do activism and she’s a fake. Real quiet now that the media has shut up about her because she criticizes the system.
I admit I am sceptical about her. She has this “trying to sell out” vibe, but I guess the ruling class doesn’t actually care to buy her loyalty.
I am all about kill your heroes etc, so I don’t follow her and only hear about her every few months, and while I am always positively surprised, she wouldn’t be the first to take a nose dive at a moment’s notice. At the same time, I don’t think she’s actually trying to sell out, her shit is extremely unsellable ever since she dropped the lib “school strike” and went in with more hardcore activism. I think she might be genuine, and I say that as somebody who thought she was just a preppy kid back during her strike years (she comes from a well-off family etc).
She could have sold out for millions long ago. Now the media try to keep a gag on her. She’s too far gone for them to buy her out.
Greta start posting on hexbear
She’s not enough of a
to post hereYeah, she’ll be on Lemmygrad calling Dessalines a reactionary
You make effortposts about video games. I blow up pipelines and get arrested. We are not the same.
If this keeps up we might get a Part 3 to this meme.
Shit, Hexbear is old. I remember people here discussing how we shouldn’t be too critical of her because she was still a child. Now she’s a young woman and we still shouldn’t be too critical of her because she’s right. I hope the rest of the generation tries to emulate it.
It’s good that we were right about her longterm trajectory though!
Well I’ll be goddamned. I genuinely didn’t think she’d ever have it in her to get even this far.
Well, the autism is a bit of a boost in actually getting to the root of the problem rather than getting stuck in the neurotypical bounds of respectability and milque toast solutions.

Many such cases
Step into the doctors’ office please
Malala became the worst sellout and Greta became an actual activist.
I never thought that would be the case, but hindsight is 20/20.
Wait what happened with Malala?
She turned out to be a communist
Other way around. She started out as a communist, and used her platform for promoting that for some time, but she ended up submitting herself to the consultancy insustrial complex so now she’s just an NGO ghoul.
She’s organized with trots, but otherwise she seems based.
Do you know if she still organizes with any communists though? Because AFAIK, for the most part, since starting her foundation it’s just been UNICEF and the sort of UN affiliated NGOs that do good work (maybe inappropriate to call her a ghoul) yet do not stand a chance to change material reality in a meaningful way.
I have absolutely no clue.
Malala
idk who she is ,how did she sell out ?
She was an Afghan girl who was shot in the head by a member of the Taliban and then rescued by the US and was intended to be used for propaganda purposes, until it turned out she wasn’t the average American and had an actual brain in her head; She called the US’ presence in Afghanistan an occupation and revealed she’s actually a communist. After that no one would talk to her.
No idea how she sold out though.
until it turned out she wasn’t the average American and had an actual brain in her head; She called the US’ presence in Afghanistan an occupation
that sounds based
but I read her wiki and it says she was silent on Gaza until she was criticized by contemporarieswhich to me is something no communist would do
I appreciate that post Oct 7 many people have been radicalized in Palestine’s favor, but anyone considering themselves a Communist and not being pro-Palestine is absolutely a comprador, pre or post Oct 7 alike. The genocide in Palestine has been going on for more than half a century, there has been more than enough time to see.
but anyone considering themselves a Communist and not being pro-Palestine is absolutely a comprador
that is what I am sayin
no serious communist" is against righteous national liberation movemnets
100%.
Yeah that’s because over the last few years she became more liberal. She only focuses on education and women’s rights, but through Western NGOs instead of something more revolutionary.
Pakistani, she and her dad made a speech at Trot IMT’s Pakistan branch before the Taliban incident. Yep, the Western elites dropped her fast when she was more radical than they liked, last I heard she was studying in the West?
She went to Oxford, on a scholarship I believe.
And yes, she sold out bc over the years she’s shown herself to be a liberal that uses NGOs and pretty much hasn’t been heard of at protests.
The key is this: Pakistanis all over twitter and TikTok have been skeptical of her since she was first known.
Waiting for the inevitable “Greta is a Russian assett” think piece.
Or in a more infantilizing way “Has been influenced by Russian propaganda”
Greta Thunberg isn’t even an American lol

How’s a non-american gonna vote for Harris dumbass?

You can just admit you misunderstood you know. It’s easy!

Champion, this is pretty sad. The post reply tells Greta to vote for Harris, something she clearly cannot do.
Comment edits are public. Everyone can see that you’re full of shit. You aren’t saving face, you’re just acting like a toddler caught doing something wrong.
It doesn’t. You misread the meaning of that comment.
Removed by mod
Nice edits after the fact to both comments lol.
You realized you’re wrong.
And I will have a wonderful day, thank you.
Are you Israeli?
Nobody is an israeli. Israel doesn’t exist. It’s a made up concept only made material by way of endless piles of money and guns. As soon as the supply runs out we will return to rationality.
You’re also doing a bad job conflating the concept of “having an opinion” with “being able to vote”
sitting this election out by voting third party
Voting is actually not voting you see, but also not voting is actually voting
This is why I say the two parties are american-supremacists vs white-supremacists.
This person fundamentally believes that american lives are more important and valuable than anyone else’s lives around the world. They are an american-supremacist without self-awareness.
I’m pretty sure they’re both just white supremacist parties.
Auto-Crypto-Fascism is the default ideology in america. They all tell themselves they are “decent people who want liberty, equality and justice for all… but only if you are a legal citizen… and not
blackimean ~a criminal~~ umm poor.” They recognize the horrific things done by their ancestors and the systems that their ancestors built but they refuse to right the wrongs or change the systems that continue to perpetrate those same racist colonial crimes.They are fascists that don’t just hide it from others, they can’t even recognize it about themselves.
Incredible, all of the
lib talking points, complete with a promise to stand by and watchSomeone in the replies called her a selfish white supremacist and got (as of now) 34 likes for it. Her copey ass response to it got much less than that, so that’s something.
Palestine is suffering, yes,
White Supremacy. These motherfuckers have no solidarity, and will use LGBTQ and POC as a cudgel to maintain Empire. Rainbow Imperialism in a nutshell.
Dear yankees? Didn’t your ruling party, the dems, not do anything to protect those basic rights while in power? Seems like neither of your two big parties gives a shit about you.
Death to Amerika, worse to its settlers
She literally conceded in the fucking essay
That font plus light mode causes me physical pain lol
The font is based, so you definitely have bad taste. (Good rhyme!)
I used to use dark mode, but I switched to light mode on both my PC and phone because my main room light doesn’t work anymore, so it helps give added brightness when I need it, and that’s a lot more often without my light now.
Hey man different strokes for different folks it’s all good. It’s also cos I just woke up so any light is blinding 🫠
Link the comment, I want to see the replies
Link the comment. I want to @ her

Just missing a little Maoist Standard English
smh what’s all these libs doing brigading on our thread? And they’re so rude and condescending! Don’t they know their ideology has never worked? It always collapses into fascism!I was like kid Greta as kid, but then turned into a lib as I got older. Glad she didn’t make that mistake.
I had her written off, but I’m down with Tankie Greta
Write in Greta
I’m voting Sinwar-Thunberg.
164200+ comments? Did the dumbass libs find this post or are we having a struggle sesh about Greta?predictions for if it's libs
- More than one person thinking they’re “as far left as they come” and therefore assume we must be Trump supporters if we hate Harris. Will result in some comment like “your boy Drump”
- The trolley problem from a person who has already had it explained to them how it’s not a trolley problem if they’re both equally shit, just because they keep saying Harris’ isn’t as shit
- The trolley problem again.
- The trolley problem again.
- Following these last few days, no libs will engage with the people pointing out how Harris is as bad as trump
- “Voting for third party is wasted”
- Voter fraud (By not voting for Harris I am voting for Trump, by not voting for Trump I am voting for Harris, letting me vote two times)
- “The genocide would be worse!”
- One person admitting by accident they are fine with palestinians being genocided
- Just immense amounts of long-ago debunked propaganda
predictions for strugglesesh
- “Revisionism”
- More PPB deployed than if it had been libs (no way to know, but you can feel it if it happens)
- She’s hiding her power levels vs. she’s not hiding her powerlevels
- Devolving into another barely related struggle session
- A bad joke about scandinavia
- People talking past each other, one side focusing on what good she does, the other focusing on it not being at all enough to
edit:
It was the libs.
A little primer for triggered libs:- Harris history before the 2024 election
- For all the tired arguments you always make
- If you don’t want to engage with all the stuff I put effort into, and just want to convince me to vote for Kamala (I vote in a swing state!) then I’ve compiled a brief list of presidential priorities, which I’ve put in bulletpoints. Just answer those please
“The genocide would be worse!”
Okay, I’ll be the lib…
I haven’t seen much follow up coverag, maybe this was a rumor. Apparently Trump has promised Adelson’s widow a full on support for annexation of the west bank. That seems… Not good. But also not much different than current policy. Idk, anybody know anything about this?
The thing about genocide is that the end point is extermination. The number is the same.
Palestinians are being put in concentration camps right now. Kamala has promised to support more than Biden, she’s just smart enough not to go out and say all the ghoulish shit.I think the unpredictable and fickle nature of trump means him winning is the only chance of anything getting better in Gaza because of the election.
Sometimes the wild card is the safest option
Venezuela would definitely have been couped under Hillary. Trump met Guaido, thought he was a cuck (I think that was it, it had something to do with his wife) and dropped the whole thing
If the farthest Israel is willing to go is x, both candidates will tell Bibi “why not x + 1?”
what if greta was one of us
Invite her to hexbear and crash the site lol
:dprksoldier: but it’s Greta and it’s not bandwidth but because she’s pulled the plug on the server for using too much energy.
We need to get her on here to give hexbear some starpower. Imagine the malding from libs, though our poor mods would have to pull shock worker shifts taking out the trash
Just a slob like one of us
