    She’s never been afraid to speak her mind. How do we address the issue of climate change, if we turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent people and children done intentionally for vengeance’s sake?

      Well focus is generally useful for getting things done so one way to address climate change would be to stick to climate change discussion at climate change discussion events.

        Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

        Sadly, this doesn’t even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

        It is extremely valuable. She has a powerful voice and far-reaching influence. She is using her voice to advocate for the voiceless. Israel is an apartheid state, and they must be held accountable for the crimes against humanity they are committing and have historically committed against the people and nation of Palestine.

            You can’t just spout off a buzz word as tho it’s an actual argument.

            She’s standing with Palestine against those who are mass murdering them. She has powerful influence. Her choosing to say this legitimately will influence public opinion.

                Greta is one of the most influential people of her entire generation. She is a powerful orator who has already had major impacts on climate policy around the world, and she has a massive audience.

                You’re not the entirety of the world.
