It’s strange how people who hate capitalism and rich people love Greta, a millionaire who inherited extreme wealth and has never had to work a day in her life.
Fyi to anyone that is reading, this guy is a super right wing concern troll. Downvote and move on, he has nothing of importance to say and will be banned from this community as well, soon enough.
Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
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.
Let’s discuss. Who’s a better human being: you vs the woman that chooses to put her life in danger for others despite being extremely wealthy and not needing to work?
It has everything to do with the fact that you’re a sheltered software engineer cis man that hasn’t had to have a principled stance in your entire life and would prefer to stay comfortable in your bubble propping up a system of oppression because you yourself are not negatively impacted by it - so you choose to slag off people who are actually trying to do something by being a keyboard warrior and arguing with people online - the true definition of a freedom fighter…
Well, you’re equating her with the billionaires that we all despise. I’m trying to see how despicable you find her or to understand why her wealth is relevant and not her actions.
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.
FYI, FreedomAdvocate is a prolific fascistic sealion. Their MO is stringing people along with bad faith arguments in an attempt to waste their time. You’re better off ignoring them and reporting where appropriate.
That’s alright, I figured that I would lay out some facts (some of which people genuinely wanting to know more might not be aware of) while making fun of the fascist and THEN report all the disinformation, so that’s what I did.
Thanks for the heads up, though, untimely as it may be 😁🤜
Lmao my comment got removed for “incivility” (what was uncivil about it? Genuine question, all I did was literally just pointed out what the dude would- and did- do, and he’s still here, so…)
Am I the only one finding it SUS that the only mod for a “progressive politics” community is a dude named ‘TokenBoomer’ lmao.
That source is the same though - no actual sources, just regurgitates the same “nuh uh, trust me bro she’s not rich” without anything to support it.
The fact that she does what she does and has never had a job indicates that she is very well off. Normal people can’t be a full time activist and still live.
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.
Since what you say is a lie, no it’s not strange at all. Her parents are upper middle class her own net worth is estimated at 100k. Your words are hollow.

Why would we discuss that? Is that relevant?

Cool imagination guy.

I have nothing against her. I’m pointing out the hypocrisy.

Be careful, TokenBoomer (the mod here) apparently removes comments like this for ‘incivility.’

You think that calling someone a troll, telling everyone to downvote them (brigading), and saying they have nothing good to say is being civil?
Cool, there are dozens of other sources confirming the “rumour” that she comes from wealth.
Let me guess: sources such as Breitbart, Faux News, OANN, and Newsmax?
Toilet paper contains more reliable information than such far right propaganda outlets.
“Chemical City Papers” with no sources to back up their claims are definitely reliable sources of information though, right?
Their source
Just give it a rest. It’s obvious that you’re spreading unfounded rumors because you don’t like her activism.

Have you not been paying attention? The left do. Activists do. Democrats do. Most people on here do.
Debatable.
It shouldn’t, but I’m not the one that hates rich people. You guys do - unless they’re on your side, apparently.
Awww fuck you, my guy. And your mom lol
Since what you say is a lie, no it’s not strange at all. Her parents are upper middle class her own net worth is estimated at 100k. Your words are hollow.

You guys just keep pointing to sites that reference the same source which is based on…nothing.
How do you think someone in their 20s who has never had a job is able to be a full time “activist” travelling around the world?
Straw man argument. 10 yard penalty. Go sit in the corner for 5 minutes.
Yep. Never HAD to work a day in her life and has CHOSEN to work tirelessly for a decade advocating for a better world.
“Work”
name a more iconic duo than an “anti-capitalist” and the capitalistic definition of the word work…
edit: oh shit sorry you’re actually a pro-capitalist - that’s a rare breed - oh well hope you enjoy “working” till you die for the glory of Elon 🥹
Freedom what now?
Well most leftists are generally anti-genocide, as is Greta in this case, so their interests are aligned here. Does that clear it up for you?
