Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
“Look what you made us do.”
The excuse of narcissists and nationalists everywhere.
Oh Greta Thurnberg. Don't you know you've committed the evil sin of bringing food to starving children? Woe unto you! This is aggravated by you daring to do so in opposition to our darling dream child: Isreal. For shame.
-The psychopaths
This is evil. We are witnessing evil.
You are witnessing evil, and people around the globe cheering them on because they don't like a little girl and are sporting a fuck greta sticker on their shitty car.
The US admin. and Israel gov. looking more and more like 1930‘s Germany is insane actually
Edit: and seeing how many people in both countries support this fascism makes me want to puke.
But don't disagree with killing her, or you'll be accused of being anti-Semitic.
Dude if I were in her position, I'd be shitting bricks. Big ups to her.
I thought the mask was already off, but they keep peeling off more layers to reveal something even less human
Having an original thought that nobody has ever thought before, the top minds of the murder everyone who disagrees with us party have come up with a hot, new idea of murdering everyone who disagrees with them.
When I see this cunt, Lindsay Graham, my BP rises up to 1000!
Hopefully, he'll get a stroke or something similar soon!
The first time I heard of that rat bastard was in 2012 when he declared that people accused of terrorism have no right to a lawyer. Fuck him. Fuck him to hell.
She was already an accepted target of the right wing grifters.
The amount of people in conservative subs who wish sexual violence on her is astounding
Of course. You remember when God admonished us to attack the harmless?
I mean, Canaanite babies, livestock, and children (except those sexy virgin girls). Also the Midianites. There’s plenty of precedent for God-commanded genocide in there. And even the most prominent apologists tend to respond with “yeah but it’s ok because God said.”
I gotta say I've gotten scared a few times these past couple of days with so many posts about Greta reaching the front page. Hearing about the boat that she decided to not be on getting attacked, her going there with another boat and them threatening her. And then opening Lemmy and seeing several different posts with her face as the thumbnail just thinking "please, no, don't be bad news" and then being relieved she's not dead, been taken hostage, or anything else bad. We need her.
She was on a boat that got bombed, survived, and went back out. She has balls of steel, but I fear that she's setting herself up to be a martyr. There has to be some reasonable way for her to headline and lead resistance that doesn't end in her likely overlooked death. The people who her passing would activate are already mostly active.
I was asked why I got radicalised. This would've been another event to radicalise me if I wasn't already
Pretty on-brand for a bunch of fucking fascists
Jesus, those people have no shame?
Same group of people who joked about sexually assaulting her while she was underage... so no.
Fuck all these warmonger assholes.
It's pretty funny that everyone's response to this is apathy and meming. We're so cooked
Guys, we know what to do, we have a name and internet: Arsen Ostrovsky, Lindsay Graham... OSINT and speak out
This is insane, please protect her. Hopefully she returns to her home for her own safety.
