Political Memes

I just want to remind everyone that the right's early work to paint Greta Thunberg as a "cringe and embarrassing kid put on stage by rich parents to scold hard-working homeowners" was so successful that it had almost universal support in mainstream social media, with both the right and left saying things like "I care about the environment and all, but this is just too cringe" and to this day, there are people who still think she's that child.

Why am I reminding everyone of this?

Because a lot of those people were progressive/leftist and got pulled along in the bandwagon because it was funny.

This is what it means to not really have your values and principles thought out, you can end up supporting things you don't intend. You will end up helping shoot down causes you should care about before even thinking about it.

Beware ANYTHING you read or see online or on broadcast that makes you feel something, either negative or positive, they're all emotions designed to change your feelings and thus positions.

Apologies, I promise it wasn't intended as a slight against the state but as a method I use to dodge censors about the cult. I dug a bit deeper to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass (as I couldn't recall exactly where the size correlation in my brain came from) and it does turn out it comes from a Netanyahu quote not a talking head as I'd initially thought.

On June 13, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like "10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey."

Since October 2023, Israel has dropped an estimated 70,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza – an area about 1.6% the size of New Jersey.
