    I remember first hearing her name. She is singlehandedly one of the most hated people in the modern day.

    All she did was say “I think pollution is wrong” and literally the entire human race united to gleefully pollute as a giant sticking-their-tongue-out moment to someone who just wanted to introduce basic morality to humans.

    She’s always been public enemy number one. Her crime? Not being enough of a demonic hellspawn.

    authoritarians love the old chestnut “brought a stick to a gun fight” with a chuckle until we all start showing up with guns

    and by “delicate diplomacy”, they mean commiting genocide, flattening cities, and providing people with the gift of everlasting birth defects for generations to come.

    I don’t think she was ever treated as a “darling” by the media in the first place. Maybe very briefly, but making her out to be an angry spoiled zoomer didn’t take long.

    It’s really funny to see how Right-wing nutjob accused her of being a plant by liberals to push their pro-climate change agenda and they now have to make it make sense that the liberal plant is openly speaking about the genocide liberals have been ignoring.

    Because diplomacy, organised protests, and the like to nothing to change things. Eventually only shock and violence will make them listen. History says that critical and drastic change is often proceeded by violence.

    • Yeah this was such a lib moment for her, it was also of course immediately reported on by the establisment rags.

      Disappointed, but she is still on the journey, going to give it a few more years. She has still consistently moved lefter from within a socdem civility both sides background and definitely has ended up more based than I ever hoped for as someone from a similar country. There is no left voices to hear at all so all the development has taken some actual engagement. Need to send her a pdf of Blackshirts and Reds or something.

        Or that interview with MLK where he was all “Yeah so this whole passive resistance thing isn’t really working and I’m joining the War on Terror on the side of Terror.”
