Is Greta becoming a martyr for the cause knowing full well white people will only care if they kill one of their own? Goddamn. 😔

I get the impression that she's just doing what she thinks is right, and that the reason she is doing it is because she can.

It is right. Ayaya, poor Greta will suffer in this life when she could be living large and easy in Northern Europe but, if my religious beliefs are true, she will be rewarded for it in the next one. Personally, I'm too cowardly and selfish to do any of the things Greta has been up to.

This is an interesting schtick.

For better or for worse I do post here in full honesty, and if you knew me IRL you'd understand I am indeed a very yappy religious man, lol.

I might have met you in Rotterdam.

No, I think you met another annoying monotheist. 😅

Americans are okay with their own children being shot in schools. They are hardly going to give a shit about a woke communist Yurpean trying to prevent a genocide.

Most Americans I know are furious over the genocide but entirely powerless to stop it.

I wish I could say that. I'm in a deep red area, and at best I get mild indifference, and many are near-to masturbating over the glory of israel, god's chosen people.

Nah, most see her as a rebel uneducated teen and the others don't even know her. Her death won't make any difference, because EU already condemned the flotilla, virtually signing her murder.

Will they care about a climate activist, though? I know too many people who would applaud her disappearance.

Rachel Corrie didn't manage to change much.

Every bit helps? Sadly, I didn't even know about Mme Corrie, but maybe Greta's effort will have more reach? Gotta stay hopeful!

I dont think majority of people care about Greta. White people wont give a single fuck unless they already cared about Greta's floatila thing.
