Delicate diplomacy like screaming at world leaders to tell them they’re abdicating their responsibility to leave the world better than they found it and instead incinerating the world for their own profit

I remember first hearing her name. She is singlehandedly one of the most hated people in the modern day.
All she did was say “I think pollution is wrong” and literally the entire human race united to gleefully pollute as a giant sticking-their-tongue-out moment to someone who just wanted to introduce basic morality to humans.
She’s always been public enemy number one. Her crime? Not being enough of a demonic hellspawn.
GOOD post
The media really is the barometer of how completely unsalvageable the capitalist US Western imperial empire is
As someone who’s been to Pakistan which I love but the nation is absolutely abdominal, the humanity you’ll see in Pakistan is still better than america. The extreme inequality in Pakistan is different from my home in Scotland so hard to see but it still doesn’t hold a candle to skid row in LA. Worst of all? Pakistan just had a democratic leader for the first time in a long time and suprise suprise he gets couped by the Pakistani military which is a strong ally of America and deposed him for a dynastic oligarchs
What the US does in Pakistan is just flexing. Pretty sad.
descent? you mean ascent?
the telegraph is such a rag lmao. good luck telling white people not to believe their lying eyes when they call a young norwegian woman “thuggish.”
works both waysI think we need a comrade Greta emoji
“delicate diplomacy” didn’t do shit so now she’s about three months from joining some rebel faction in Myanmar
I think she also said something along the lines of being anti capitalism
I don’t think she was ever treated as a “darling” by the media in the first place. Maybe very briefly, but making her out to be an angry spoiled zoomer didn’t take long.
When she was 14 or whatever they could pretend to listen to her and platform her with no risk
When she became an adult not so much
and by “delicate diplomacy”, they mean commiting genocide, flattening cities, and providing people with the gift of everlasting birth defects for generations to come.
Yeah because the Torygraph loved her so much when she was only talking about climate change lmao
nah she’s back on my “can’t take seriously”, she showed up at Georgia’s ongoing Color Revolution attempt
Yeah this was such a lib moment for her, it was also of course immediately reported on by the establisment rags.
Disappointed, but she is still on the journey, going to give it a few more years. She has still consistently moved lefter from within a socdem civility both sides background and definitely has ended up more based than I ever hoped for as someone from a similar country. There is no left voices to hear at all so all the development has taken some actual engagement. Need to send her a pdf of Blackshirts and Reds or something.
Or that interview with MLK where he was all “Yeah so this whole passive resistance thing isn’t really working and I’m joining the War on Terror on the side of Terror.”
Link it, you lib.
As the only true lib on hexursine:
Around 19 minutes in he starts talking about how his “dream became a nightmare” and mentions another quote from someone else who said “We may have integrated a burning house.” He mentions that many people don’t have the same hopes they did the decade prior when there was a push to end Jim Crow because people are still living in poor economic conditions. He starts laying out how civil rights up to that point had been supported because it “didn’t cost America anything.” But the push for real equality would require economic changes and that’s where he was running into the most resistance.
You can see how he had come around to socialism as socialism was the answer to racism, militarism, and poverty. Marching and speeches wouldn’t be enough. The US would need to revolutionize its economy if it wanted to get serious about equality. He points out how white, European settlers were given land out west, while former slaves were thrown to the wind. So it’s not like the US was unable to create a society based on equality, it just didn’t want to. People only supported civil rights up to that point because of the sheer brutality of racism, not necessarily because they were against racism.
He was assassinated a few months after this interview AFAIK.
Sorry for the late response but since you linked it you have proven yourself to be a Comrade. Libs don’t drop links.
Thanks for this! Really incredible interview, MLK was very based.
authoritarians love the old chestnut “brought a stick to a gun fight” with a chuckle until we all start showing up with guns
Because diplomacy, organised protests, and the like to nothing to change things. Eventually only shock and violence will make them listen. History says that critical and drastic change is often proceeded by violence.
It’s really funny to see how Right-wing nutjob accused her of being a plant by liberals to push their pro-climate change agenda and they now have to make it make sense that the liberal plant is openly speaking about the genocide liberals have been ignoring.
We need Greta emojis
