    they abandoned her right around the time she started to notice she wouldn’t be effective unless she started attacking capitalism as the root cause.

      Looked like she was always pushing the marxist position to me. I mean, this mostly started when she was playing with the EU “aristocracy”.

      When did she do that? I’ve lways thought of her as liberal with rich parents who get’s to do high-publicity protests that achieve nothing and distract from the economic problem.

        Y’all got to take the word “distract” out of your vocabulary. Israel is not committing genocide to distract from the Epstein files.

        I don’t really know or care much about Greta Thuneberg. But I wouldn’t criticize her unless my activism was objectively more effective than hers…and I don’t think that describes either of us.

        That might have been the case some years ago when she was very young, but it is clear that her political consciousness has evolved significantly since then. How many of us can say that we held the same political views as teenagers as we do now?

          it happens… some people put a lot of effort into it at a young age. Although looking back, I now realize that that wasn’t normal.
