This will certainly rile the rightwingers. They have hated Greta since she stepped into the spotlight and anything she talks about.

All they want is to destroy the planet and carry out their genocides in peace. Is that really too much to ask?

The planet will be fine. Humans on the other hand not so much. The planet is quickly becoming uninhabitable by humans. The genocides are just hurrying that process along.

I wouldn’t be so sure that “the planet” will be fine. All the species of animals and plants that we know and love will likely go extinct. Even if we do survive like the little cockroaches we are (in the best way possible) we’re never gonna see this world again. It will be dead forever. We will be alone, in a world filled with life that we never learned to love and know. Truly aliens on an alien planet.

The tardigrades will be fine!

Damn.... You make genocides sound like a good thing for the earth.

Fuck pop politics regardless of sides... It's all wack power games. Real people are real regardless of law.

Right wingers absolutely DEMANDING that free speech be crushed for all but themselves.

I just think it’s weird to prop up a child as a spokesperson. (When she first became popular)
