There’s always been very vocal criticisms of her from people who don’t agree with her (for whatever reason they may have). But since she first started her activism, over a decade ago, no one I personally know has had a negative view of her. The people who don’t like her are very vocal about it, but on the whole I’ve always assumed she’s well liked.
I’ve personally been a fan of hers since I found out about her, and every time I hear about her doing something I basically always go “hell yeah”
Me too. But I always feel like people like here are abandon by us because if I go anywhere other then these left spaces, she gets crucified and there’s no defense
Part of it is the fact that there was an absolutely vicious smear campaign against her character when she first started speaking out. It did a lot to mark her as “cringe”, which made people dismiss her.
Then why was there not an effort to counter that smear campaign. We all saw it but did nothing except let it go on.
It was things like that which has made me so pessimistic and hateful of that left as a whole. I see people today here on Lemmy so passionate and angry at trump. Yet also ineffective for the past decade.
Whatever you need to tell yourself. You people will drive 8 hours to stand in the rain yelling just to go back home with no progress. You’ll come online every day and cry about trump. But actively engage people outside these echo chambers, that’s impossible something something bot farms.
You brilliant son of a bitch, that’s exactly what we need… An anti bot bot farm… Where users can download an app and join a pool of users to fight propaganda online… I have no idea how that is supposed to work… But yeah…
I used to be critical of her, I thought she was just a kid being used by her rich parents as a mouth piece. But she has kept her course and changed my mind completely, truly very few people in the world would have courage to do something lile this. I hope she comes back alive from this, we need more people like her.
Edit: actually extend that to everyone on that boat, they are all braver than most of us and should come back safe.
Our shitbag politicians in the US even nag her, Lindsey Graham tweeted about ‘hoping they know how to swim.’ I hope Lindsey Graham falls down some stairs and never gets up.
People who mock her just blow my mind. Even worse when she was still underage. People were like: yeah i put a “Fuck Greta” sticker on my shitty car, that will teach that 15 year old girl to shut the fuck up.
She’s got more guts than the idiots who mock & criticise her.
I thought everyone hated her. I could have sworn that like a year ago online discussion was nothing but how terrible she is.

Yeah, let me just spin up my bot farm paid for by me to counter the other bot farms by the corporate interests and mega donors

What do you mean by “you people?”

You hang out toouch in right wing echo chambers
when she was younger she was paraded by libs for green washing, the media either hated her or loved her.
when thise libs realised she isn’t a grifter the mass media either ignored her or kept on hating her.

That closeted queer deserves a far more painful end. A long, protracted one. Maybe being eaten feet first by Randy Fine.
Can we not call people closeted queers as an insult please
He’s a stomach curdling old psychopath and should be put into an old folk’s home. Better?
I hope one of Lady G’s male escorts outside him, which destroys his political career.

I always viewed her as the girl who just cried and everyone said respect for that. I thought it was a bit dumb and cringe.
I’m glad to see her do things like this. It changed my mind. Respect to her.
She’s got more guts than most, even those like me who respect and agree with her, and fear for her life.
