I’m fairly sure in the right wing playbook she’s just out of the range of hitting and now in the range of being hit on, but they confuse sex and violence so much it just comes out as jumbled sick perversion.

These are the people who’ve helped ratchet up our rape and incest stats to where they are right now.

That doesn't make sense. They're infantilizing her. This isn't 4chan doing what they did with Hogg, the point is to call her a child.

Anyone who takes Glenn Kessler seriously after repeatedly lying about Sanders’ health care plan is an idiot. The guy is one of the worst things about modern elite media- he thinks he is important because he is ‘keeping score’ and that it also makes him neutral, but he still has an agenda.

As :3: and feel good as that is, the point she’s making with her activism is that we need to do something now, because if we don’t it doesn’t matter that the “kids are alright.” It’s not enough to post on social media about how awesome she is or how you can sleep better at night knowing the next generation could be better people than us. Those are just words. We need action, and we needed it yesterday, but today is all we have so we need to do something today instead of punting it into the future.

Edit: not saying you’re not doing anything or calling you out specifically, but yeah that’s kind of her whole point. She doesn’t want words or thoughts or prayers. She doesn’t want anyone’s condescending “wow she’s amazing and only 16” praises. She wants action.
No, I totally understand. I can't unfortunately do much, but I do help with what little I can.

It's more that, I dunno, like it feels good (and also pretty funny, too) when someone like Bernie straight up says Trump is a madman in dereliction of his duties or Chrissy Teigen calls Trump the petty bitch or whatever she called him, because he totally is: This fuckbag is sitting in the highest office in the land and can't even pretend to stay out of his comfort bubble for one loving hour. But when Greta basically handles Trump and his base's insults like a loving champ, it's really, really hard not to want to feel hopeful to look at young peeps like her, Emma González, the Hogg and such make you feel like "Yeah, we can totally do this".

This is a recurring theme and its super creepy and gross and I am not sure if they are all pervs or are just too stupid to realize how creepy they sound.

Although I remember the super weird fetishy poo poo that came out with Hogg so I guess they might just be closet pedophiles.

And like, the rest of “the west” have come to the conclusion that spanking children is harmful, has lasting (negative) impacts, and is no better if not worse than other methods of punishment/reward.

But say that spanking children is bad on any right wing shitsite (like reddit) and you will be called dumb and stupid and be met with the rage and anger normally given to bicyclists, and given thousands of anecdotes about how they are totally fine despite daddy breaking their legs for stealing a cookie from the cookie jar.

So these people saying she needs to be spanked are literally advocating for something that doesn’t even happen where she comes from.

Edit: Which is amazing to think about because these same shitheads are always talking about how we need to follow the law of the land or to not impose stuff like “”””sharia law”””” on people but they turn around and do the same thing wanting to impose arcane punishment like torture (read: solitary confinement) and spanking children on other peoples, not to mention wanting to be ruled by gods laws whatever that is.

I mean, it does come off a little bit pandering to claim that physically threatening a child over their political beliefs is a bridge too far after agreeing that other kid had a "punchable face".

At the very least there was no, like, outcry from the left about that rhetoric back then.

Something that you, and most people, can do right now is to stop eating meat. That alone is probably the biggest most impactful thing any of us without money or power can do.

Stopping is maybe asking too much though for most people, so the next best thing is to eat less meat.

This and taking public transit to work/school every day are definitely the biggest things most people can do. Even if it's not possible for everybody every day, changing the default food and transportation modes away from the most wasteful methods is huge.

Yeah, this is a really good post.

The thing about Greta Thunberg is that too many people are interpreting her activism as a cute kid who cares about the environment and not as a kid who is literally begging us to let her generation have a future. She's being mocked by the right because they're all spiteful, empty bags of hate, but it's also because they implicitly recognize that she's part of a very angry youth that is going to hold them accountable.
