Greta Thunberg is declared a violent participant for her pro Palestine demonstrations. : aboringdystopia

Greta is a shining light of inspiration for every autistic person out there. I was in my mid-30s when she rose to prominence and I want to say that when I grow up I want to be her...

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Greta is an absolute freak.

Her basic decency, which I have to assume is some kind of random genetic mutation, risks putting our species in a forgivable light.

Not cool Greta. You could at least throw some trash on the ground or something to fit in.

wow I never would've thought Germany to be in favor of genocide. I guess there's a first for everything.

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Feels a bit like a cheater letting their spouse be abusive to them because they feel so guilty for cheating. Germany fucked up so they're going to let the victim do whatever, even if what the victim is doing is wrong.

eh, they're going back towards fascism themselves

[–] greenskye@lemm.ee 2 points 12 hours ago

Feels like the entire world is going backwards and yet at the same time the majority of people don't want that. Which just tells you how much power truly is in the hands of the few.

why tho. money?

[–] luciferofastora@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 hours ago

Because we have forgotten the pain of our grandparents and great grandparents, if we ever knew it. Because we're taught hollow, neutered versions of the chronology in history class, without ever examining the social dynamics, the psychological mechanisms of propaganda and the causes for this ideological cancer. Because a good chunk of our people are in misery in some way and have never been given the tools to actually figure out why, so when the next round of grifters came by and gave them an enemy to blame, a golden past to glorify and an easily digestible reason for why their lives are bad, they fell for it just like our ancestors did.

Maybe other parts have it better, but looking back at my own schooling, we didn't learn from history because we never learned the whole history.

The press agency removed that part now and calls it a mistake.

In my fantasies, Greta becomes the most feared revolutionary - like a new age Boudica, and sets the world to rights in a rampage of justice.

I personally wouldn't mind if protests she support get violent, like really fight the operative systems destroying humanity and ecosystems.

I would not prefer it, but def wouldn't mind, in fact I would still support them. Actually, statistically speaking, non-violent protests arent really effective and still get shut down with violence.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 202 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Yes. Greta is well known for her violent tendency to be limply carried away by police from protests where she stands there...violently. have you seen the graphic photos of police carrying her away? It's a wonder they survive the encounter.

[–] meiti@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Exactly. That's the first picture that came to my mind immediately. I describe it rather peaceful.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Attacking our batons with your shoulder blades and our pepper spray with your faces.

Yeah it's kinda what I was thinking. That lady and her terrorism have gone too far!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's funny that when misusing words (and laws, which are again words) if they actually literally turned violent, like organised crime or paramilitary force, how wound they classify them then?

Oh, ... oh no, they would be classified terrorists, wouldn't they? (Even without using terror attacks on civilians)
I say 'oh no' bcs that is the next word they are gonna use when they still protest peacefully:
"The violent terrorists have brutally sat down & displayed extremely polarising signs about ending genocide, some of the sitting down terrorists even forced the police to use force in self-defence."

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 275 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (12 children)

The reason you don't hear about Greta anymore is because she didn't let her conscience stop at climate change. She's a left wing activist fighting for social justice in all things.

The rich will mold her image in history the same way they did for MLK, leaving out all the aspects of her politics that make them squirm.

[–] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Same reason we immortalized the child version of Helen Keller. Though she lived to 87.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or the Diary of Ann Frank. Easier to control the narrative around children than to discuss the politics of grown adults.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Well, she was murdered in the Holocaust a year after she wrote. So it makes sense that's how we remember her. We don't know what she may have been like as an adult. She was a cool ass kid, facing annihilation by total evil.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A holocaust denier or Nazi might claim that her death was due to natural causes. Ignoring that the reason why she got typhus is due to the horrid conditions in the camp and her lack of treatment in it.

The thing than never fails to make me laugh are "fuck greta" stickers on cars or bikes. Especially if it's a little VW golf.

Imagine declaring violent someone for their demonstrations against a genocide

[–] eleitl@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago

This is how it works these days. And in a convenient framing, antizionism has disappeared from the MSM vocabulary. It's all antisemitism now.

The news in Germany is also shockingly biased. Obviously things like the Bild were going to be, but even on more mainstream news, you don’t hear about Palestinian casualties, nor do you hear interviews with Palestinians or Israelis against of the war (at most you get an Israeli who’s slightly critical of methods, but still thinks Israel should be actively defending itself). If you’re a German who doesn’t look at international sources for news, it would be very strange not to support Israel, based on what you’re hearing. It’s infuriating, but it’s also difficult to change. I don’t know what it would take for the German media to stop supporting them.
