Greta Tankberg countdown:
Edit: 170 comments
If this keeps up we might get a Part 3 to this meme
It’s a welcome change, but she still isn’t firm enough. To make her message more firm:
-
The first paragraph needs to be taken out. You can’t say voting is pointless (true) while hyping up this election at the same time.
-
“There is no doubt that one of the candidates - Trump - is way more dangerous than the other.” That’s just her capitulating to lesser-evilers. Trump isn’t “way more dangerous” than Harris at all outside of him being a shittier imperialist to the imperialist project. As Black revolutionary Imam Jamil Al-Amin said, “Evil is evil. There’s nothing in between that.”
-
“With this in mind, my main message to Americans is to remember that you cannot only settle for the least worst option.” She needs to get rid of the “only.”
To me, it looks like either her original message was a lot firmer but got watered down by one of her close associates who changed her mind/edited the message or she is personally conflicted and hasn’t fully crossed the bridge to give up on lesser-evilism.

Greta is going for the twin towers
I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like “fuck you greta!” on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her “having gone too far” in hushed voices. Only ppl I’ve met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org
How does one 23 year old with no army “go too far”?
Libs.
It’s the mirror image of the reactionary “this kind of activism only pushes people away”
Lmao everyone around me says her parents forced her to do activism and she’s a fake. Real quiet now that the media has shut up about her because she criticizes the system.
I admit I am sceptical about her. She has this “trying to sell out” vibe, but I guess the ruling class doesn’t actually care to buy her loyalty.
I am all about kill your heroes etc, so I don’t follow her and only hear about her every few months, and while I am always positively surprised, she wouldn’t be the first to take a nose dive at a moment’s notice. At the same time, I don’t think she’s actually trying to sell out, her shit is extremely unsellable ever since she dropped the lib “school strike” and went in with more hardcore activism. I think she might be genuine, and I say that as somebody who thought she was just a preppy kid back during her strike years (she comes from a well-off family etc).
She could have sold out for millions long ago. Now the media try to keep a gag on her. She’s too far gone for them to buy her out.
Shit, Hexbear is old. I remember people here discussing how we shouldn’t be too critical of her because she was still a child. Now she’s a young woman and we still shouldn’t be too critical of her because she’s right. I hope the rest of the generation tries to emulate it.
It’s good that we were right about her longterm trajectory though!
A label I hope she’ll embrace if she ever gets called that.
164200+ comments? Did the dumbass libs find this post or are we having a struggle sesh about Greta?predictions for if it's libs
- More than one person thinking they’re “as far left as they come” and therefore assume we must be Trump supporters if we hate Harris. Will result in some comment like “your boy Drump”
- The trolley problem from a person who has already had it explained to them how it’s not a trolley problem if they’re both equally shit, just because they keep saying Harris’ isn’t as shit
- The trolley problem again.
- The trolley problem again.
- Following these last few days, no libs will engage with the people pointing out how Harris is as bad as trump
- “Voting for third party is wasted”
- Voter fraud (By not voting for Harris I am voting for Trump, by not voting for Trump I am voting for Harris, letting me vote two times)
- “The genocide would be worse!”
- One person admitting by accident they are fine with palestinians being genocided
- Just immense amounts of long-ago debunked propaganda
predictions for strugglesesh
- “Revisionism”
- More PPB deployed than if it had been libs (no way to know, but you can feel it if it happens)
- She’s hiding her power levels vs. she’s not hiding her powerlevels
- Devolving into another barely related struggle session
- A bad joke about scandinavia
- People talking past each other, one side focusing on what good she does, the other focusing on it not being at all enough to
edit:
It was the libs.
A little primer for triggered libs:- Harris history before the 2024 election
- For all the tired arguments you always make
- If you don’t want to engage with all the stuff I put effort into, and just want to convince me to vote for Kamala (I vote in a swing state!) then I’ve compiled a brief list of presidential priorities, which I’ve put in bulletpoints. Just answer those please
“The genocide would be worse!”
Okay, I’ll be the lib…
I haven’t seen much follow up coverag, maybe this was a rumor. Apparently Trump has promised Adelson’s widow a full on support for annexation of the west bank. That seems… Not good. But also not much different than current policy. Idk, anybody know anything about this?
If the farthest Israel is willing to go is x, both candidates will tell Bibi “why not x + 1?”
The thing about genocide is that the end point is extermination. The number is the same.
Palestinians are being put in concentration camps right now. Kamala has promised to support more than Biden, she’s just smart enough not to go out and say all the ghoulish shit.I think the unpredictable and fickle nature of trump means him winning is the only chance of anything getting better in Gaza because of the election.
Greta start posting on hexbear
She’s not enough of a to post here
Yeah, she’ll be on Lemmygrad calling Dessalines a reactionary
You make effortposts about video games. I blow up pipelines and get arrested. We are not the same.
Just missing a little Maoist Standard English
Write in Greta
I’m voting Sinwar-Thunberg.
I was like kid Greta as kid, but then turned into a lib as I got older. Glad she didn’t make that mistake.
She’s a good kid, giving me hope for the future.
That font plus light mode causes me physical pain lol
The font is based, so you definitely have bad taste. (Good rhyme!)
I used to use dark mode, but I switched to light mode on both my PC and phone because my main room light doesn’t work anymore, so it helps give added brightness when I need it, and that’s a lot more often without my light now.
Hey man different strokes for different folks it’s all good. It’s also cos I just woke up so any light is blinding 🫠

This is why I say the two parties are american-supremacists vs white-supremacists.
This person fundamentally believes that american lives are more important and valuable than anyone else’s lives around the world. They are an american-supremacist without self-awareness.
I’m pretty sure they’re both just white supremacist parties.
sitting this election out by voting third party
Voting is actually not voting you see, but also not voting is actually voting
Greta Thunberg isn’t even an American lol

How’s a non-american gonna vote for Harris dumbass?

You can just admit you misunderstood you know. It’s easy!

Champion, this is pretty sad. The post reply tells Greta to vote for Harris, something she clearly cannot do.
Comment edits are public. Everyone can see that you’re full of shit. You aren’t saving face, you’re just acting like a toddler caught doing something wrong.
It doesn’t. You misread the meaning of that comment.
Removed by mod
Nice edits after the fact to both comments lol.
You realized you’re wrong.
And I will have a wonderful day, thank you.
She literally conceded in the fucking essay
Incredible, all of the lib talking points, complete with a promise to stand by and watch
Someone in the replies called her a selfish white supremacist and got (as of now) 34 likes for it. Her copey ass response to it got much less than that, so that’s something.
Dear yankees? Didn’t your ruling party, the dems, not do anything to protect those basic rights while in power? Seems like neither of your two big parties gives a shit about you.
Death to Amerika, worse to its settlers
Palestine is suffering, yes,
White Supremacy. These motherfuckers have no solidarity, and will use LGBTQ and POC as a cudgel to maintain Empire. Rainbow Imperialism in a nutshell.

Greta Thunberg has been the most pleasant surprise of recent history. She is amazing.
Light itself, but like, unironically
