What is interesting about Greta Thunberg is that she is one of the few environmental activists that have been very vocal about being Pro-Palestinian and being against the capitalistic death machine. When giving a speech in favour of the Palestinian cause, a man in the crowd came up on stage to interrupt her speech and said “I came here for a climate demonstration not a political view.”
Most white eco-activists are single-issue focused, and use that single issue as a way to acquit themselves of their complexities, to reassure themselves that they’re “the good ones” because at least they’re fighting for a “good cause”, while also retreating to a stance of passivity that their privilege provides when things get too…. “Political”. they are frauds and their activism is facile as it fails to recognise how intersectional environmentalism is—how processes of climate crises, high rates of resource extractions and green-colonialism have their roots in broader structures of colonialism, capitalism, imperialism etc. Environmentalism is and has always been political. and the environmental damages & the magnitude of deaths caused by this warfare should concern you. Land grabbing and genocide should enrage you.
20 year old Greta Thunberg has gotten more harassment from the media for the octopus plushie cameo in her free Palestine post than the middle aged openly racist sick fucks that sit in our parliaments
