Not really, if you take some time you'll see she herself isn't going around and doing grunt work. A lot of money is also spent making you think she's effective at what sheis doing.
Im not saying she is doing nothing but there is a difference between what she is doing and what people who started up grassroots organizations did. If ypu look into her foundation they finance other groups and it is those people who are organizing.
You've been trained to be reflexively dismissive of what she does. This is to direct your thinking away from the specific cause at hand.
You can verify this by the number of words you've typed in order to crap on Greta, compared to the number of words you've typed about the Crimes Against Humanity in Gaza being committed by Israel.
You will behave identically the next time she speaks up on important issues.
For you, it will always be about Greta, which will reduce your will to focus on the crisis at hand.
You've been trained.
You need significant psychological help as you are delusional. You do not know me nor have I taken a pro-Israel position.
Gaslighting is abuse.
I bet you can't admit that netanyahu is committing genocide.
No one is gaslighting anyone here. They are under the impression that they can read minds.
Israel is absolutely committing genocide as they have been for years
You literally said they needed professional help and that they were delusional.
I asked about netanyahu in particular.
I explained why they are eelusional as they are professing that they believe they can read minds. That's not gaslighting unless you somehow perceive there is a relationship with someone you don't know. If they are doubting their sanity from a singular reply from an anonymous poster what would that suggest to you?
Netanyahu has been leading Israel for years and spent decades in the IDF. Do you need me to connect the dots for you?
Go look up what "gaslighting" means as you are using that term incorrectly.
Good lord, it's like pulling teeth. I asked if netanyahu is committing genocide. You have made it clear that you cannot say that he is.
You're so proud that you got your picture in the dictionary.
I won my bet.
Settle down, Sparky.
I'm pointing out the actual topic, which isn't Greta, and the fact that your sole axe to grind here is "Greta sux", as you've been trained.
Given that the IDF has killed aid workers, journalists, medical personnel, children, anyone they feel like, The entire crew of that ship was literally risking death, in order to break Israel's blockade of food and aid to Palestinians.
Your singular takeaway? Greta don't impress me much.
You're profoundly unhelpful in the upward march of humanity.
Someone commented how everyone who isn’t celebrating her is a bot and I explained a different take on that.
You then proceeded to pretend you know what I think and why and that is delusional as you do not know me at all.
You then proceed to suggest that I am brainwashed and a bad person because I don’t share your exact views which seems intensely hypocritical.
This is an utterly false depiction of what happened, Mr. Eight Day Old Account. In my first comment to you, I quoted you directly, so that you could see exactly what I was calling you out for.
Im not suggesting that you are brainwashed. I am telling you that you're brainwashed, and exactly what you've been trained to think and do.
You then you continued to behave exactly as I described.
The only thing that seems to be important to you, is to drive home the idea that "Greta ain't all that". As though you're following marching orders or talking points, Mr. Eight Day Old Account.
We do, though, and you have, though.
You never condamned a single israeli crime all you do it to talk about a person you hate for weird reasons. You can go to an unpopularopinion community and trash her as much as you want
this post has no greta in it, can you go the post and say something nice? https://lemmings.world/post/28110379
