    All I get from this is how Greta is putting us all to shame.

    She’s fighting an unwinnable fight in the face of obvious defeat … a literal David and Goliath confrontation (and this time there will be no divine intervention) yet she chooses to jump into the fight anyway.

    GOP always pretend they could do the same but would only ever cower and scatter like cockroaches at the first sight of danger.

          Was I uncivil in what I said? You’re definitely being uncivil. I’m not “super right wing” and I’m definitely not “trolling”. I’m here for a discussion, clearly unlike you.

            Lying to smear a role model is uncivil, as is whataboutism.

            Not that it’s going to stop you from spreading disinformation to suit your agenda, but just to set the record straight:

            Contrary to the rampant online rumors, Greta Thunberg’s net worth is estimated to be $100,000 as of 2025. Unlike many public figures, Thunberg does not profit from her activism. She has made it clear multiple times that any earnings from her book sales or speeches go directly to charity.

            One particularly popular yet unfounded rumor is that she is set to inherit $10 million from her parents, opera singer Malena Ernman and actor Svante Thunberg. However, Swedish income tax records—which are publicly available—show that her parents are not millionaires. While they may be considered comfortably upper-middle class, their wealth has been grossly exaggerated by misinformation campaigns.

                Who tf cares if she was born to a wealthy family? Do you advocate for all billionaire children to be shot and killed? All billionaire fetuses to be aborted? Rich people themselves to be spayed and neutered? If so, that’s a whole different and insane conversation.

                This girl has worked hard, tirelessly, through death threats and literal bombs, against fucking genocidal huge countries, for what she believes. Why in the everloving fuck should it matter if she comes from wealth? Every one of your comments here shows that pieces of shit are not defined by income level.

      She’s doing what she’s been doing for the last several years. She is using the brand name recognition that the right-wing nutters have given her through their vitriol and using it to highlight whatever cause she desires to make people pay attention to.

      In a very real sense they have turned her into a powerful media weapon for progressive and climate change causes. Because everywhere she goes she gets ink.

          You see he wasn’t actually liberal. He was kissing up to the people who buy his cars. He’s not interested in actual politics or policy he just wants to fuck with regulations to be able to do what he wants with his companies without any restrictions from our government. That is was and always will be the actual purpose of DOGE.

          I realized what a POS he is right during the pandemic when he had absolute fucking meltdowns about not being able to force his workers into his factories to build his fucking cars while everybody was dying from the virus in the first few months after it started rampaging across the globe.

            Not even just Israel. Saudi Arabia attacked the US on 9/11 as the declassified documents that Obama released showed, and the US proceeded to go to war with two unrelated countries instead, and the US is still allied with Saudi Arabia. Hell, nobody even talked about it on mainstream news, and the public seems to have completely forgotten about it.

            @Quadhammer So far that hasn’t proven to be the case. Any nation that has wide spread application of renewable energy also has very high rates. Take Spain for example, approximately 50% of it’s energy comes from renewables is 19.9cents / Kwh. Saudi Arabia by contrast, less than 1% of it’s energy from renewables, 6.1cents / Kwh, less than one third the cost in Spain AND their grid doesn’t collapse on a regular basis when clouds obscure a solar farm or the wind dies down.

          That’s just factually inaccurate.

          Renewable energy is cheaper and more reliable than fossil fuel energy and the high gas prices are due to OPEC and US market manipulation as well as other geopolitical factors, not anything “regretta” (🙄) or other activists do.

                @Viking_Hippie Yes I’ve heard of energy storage, there is enough for about five minutes worth of electricity. Every heard of economics? There are only so many areas for pumped hydro and they are mostly tapped out. Lithium ion batteries have a habit of self-immolation and are prohibitively expensive and there isn’t enough accessible lithium on the planet to put a dent in the problem. What other brilliant ideas have you to offer?

                  there is enough for about five minutes worth of electricity

                  That’s absolute nonsense.

                  Every heard of economics?

                  I have, yes. That’s part of why I’m arguing for energy production that’s cheaper in the short, medium, and long term and doesn’t rely on finite resources that have a deleterious effect on humanity.

                  There are only so many areas for pumped hydro

                  Pumped hydro? Wait, you’re talking about hydrogen powered cars now? 🤦

                  Lithium ion batteries

                  Are on the way out as alternatives such as sodium batteries are being researched and improved

                  What other brilliant ideas have you to offer?

                  Here’s one: shut the fuck up with your nonsense before you embarrass yourself further.

                  Ok so you’re a communist

                  Wrong again. Unlike you, I’m no fan of authoritarianism.

                  you think people should give you stuff free

                  Nope

                  deny them the means of production

                  Wrong again.

                  Don’t you ever get tired of trotting out your ridiculous army of strawmen?

            @Viking_Hippie You’re obviously one of Klaus Schwab’s brain-washed minion. Sun don’t shine at night, wind blows randomly, hydro is great but only limited opportunities, and the Indians want to be able to fish unlimited salmon and are blaming the dams for not being able to do that, so yea, renewables are a problem.

              yes you are, never suggested to let me make your decisions on your behalf but merely a discussion.

              My opinion is that if you are complaining about increasing costs of living, then most likely the culprits are people who hoard wealth and still increase prices of goods “because inflation and taxes” while making record profits. I highly doubt it is a girl who tries to tackle this interconnected web of “who is the most powerful” insanity from one of its corners.

                @iAvicenna Yea, you have the typical communist mentality, if you don’t have enough goods, it’s not because there aren’t enough goods, it’s because they aren’t equally distributed.

                The Bolsheviks had this mentality. They had a few big land owners farming the land and providing food for the masses. But the Bolsheviks thought everyone should own an equal amount of land, so they took it away from the farmers, divided it up, and gave it to all the plebs.

                The end results, the new land owners didn’t know how to farm and ten million people starved to death.

                  Well for one I would not see my self as a communist (I don’t even know enough of the theory to make such bold claims, but neither do you as it seems like). Secondly, I am a big fan of people with expertise and know-how producing goods and find that setup much more efficient and safe (unless when profits are prioritized over safety obviously). Finally you have grossly oversimplified a historical event to the point where it just serves the same purpose as fabricated piece of data. The lands were not only owned by few big land owners and Bolsheviks sure as hell did not just tramp over a couple of giant farming oligarchies, they tramped over millions of small to medium sized producers as well. A lot of the land were owned by kulaks, most of which were akin to business owners of today (but no where near corporate conglomerates), perhaps roughly corresponding to ~%5 of the population. The event you described is known in history as dekulakization where by millions of such people were affected by the harsh measures taken (deportation, execution, imprisonment). Even after mass dekulakization, the soviet government continued to confiscate grains from any peasants that did not look like they were starving. If you try to associate the methods of such a mentally insane government with advantages of equal distribution of goods then you lack the basic capabilities of critical thinking, sorry. So in summary, what has happened back then is no where near the story you have fabricated above. It was clearly a move of political motivation and has nothing to do with what is going on today, i.e truly only couple conglomerates owning the means of production to everything and suffocating the small producers out of business by market monopoly and then running amock with pricing and profits.

                  This rhetoric of “communists did blah, socialists did bluh and then look what happened” does not apply to today really. We are facing a different beast now. Unchecked corporate oligarchies were allowed to become so powerful that only a handful of people in each country are dominating most of the production and political landscape; %5 of the population owning the means of food production sounds like a heaven compared to the situation we are in:

                  Revealed: the true extent of America’s food monopolies, and who pays the price

                  Just a couple weeks ago a mentally insane billionaire was randomly firing hundreds of thousands of people from their jobs in government because he thought they were unnecessary. When governments start to prioritize interests of corporate oligarchies over the people they represent, we may as well be fucked my friend. The only chance of living a decent life is either completely going off the grid and waiting to die or identifying who your enemies are correctly and making them realize that they depend more on you then you on them:

                  Energy giants see £457 billion profits as consumers’ bills rise

                  British Gas profits leap from £72m to £751m in a year

                  Energy firm profits top £483 billion since start of crisis

                  And you still think a girl is the main reason your are paying more for energy and gas lol.
