Dont follow me, follow GretaWe should abandon the illusion that politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them.

Richard Bairwell@gretathunberg Considering Greta is her on Mastodon at https://mastodon.nu/@gretathunberg I'm not sure why this bot exists or why it doesn't mention her account.

Bob Wyman@gretathunberg We must all be politicians, engaged in politics - the process by which a society reveals and resolves the different needs and desires of its people.
Too often we view "politics" as the exclusive realm of those who are elected, or who otherwise gained positions of official power; those who we call "politicians." But, they are simply those "in power." Each and everyone of us is, or should be, a politician, and we should insist that those in power engage in politics, not just power.
John Shirley@gretathunberg She's right. We have to do an end run around them somehow. Lawsuits?
AnarcThe times for appellative protest to the leaders are ending. It is useless. It is also not interesting to overtake the power in a damaged and incapable system, which is actually going under by itself.
Let us built a new world on earth
Looking for explanations…@gretathunberg Nor is it just up to people such as yourself. Everyone needs to increase their efforts to reduce emissions & pressure governments & corporations to do better.
SocialistStan@gretathunberg She may be the poster child for performative actions now, but she will get more serious as she gets older.
Smerks1109@gretathunberg Artemis. Photos. Earth. Absolutely stunning. Wake up World. We need to do all we can to save this beautiful planet.
ecsdMeanwhile, look at this CRAP pushed by "sponsors" of newstatesman (part of the 65% garbage you have to find your way through to read the article) -- "hey, let's rape your car's data, please buy more crypto ponzi, and please be eaten by VR." With this being in your face as "au courant", no wonder nothing's being done about the climate.
Paul Garnault@gretathunberg so good you’re on here. You have so much support!
Indy Richard 🏴@gretathunberg All most politicians ever seem to do is enrich themselves. I don't get why, election after election and broken promise after broken promise, anyone still votes for these crooks.
