Arthur Charpentier ⏚ 🇨🇦 🇯🇵"World leaders who just a few years ago lauded Thunberg and rushed to share stages and photo-ops with her have said nothing. The climate scientists who hailed her moral clarity and feverishly retweeted her have ignored her. The prime minister of her own country has been silent. Thunberg has been abandoned by a fake progressive liberal class that hailed her courage and valorised her strength just a few short years ago" https://www.donotpanic.news/p/the-liberal-abandonment-of-greta?r=1nlk19
UK-Birmingham_UTV@freakonometrics she’s the new Goodall so fuck all those assholes who abandon her.
John Caveney woke is me🛠️@freakonometrics Greta Thunberg is my hero, she’s all I hope I could be (I have neither her courage nor her obvious talent)
Mike Anderson@jaycee @freakonometrics agreed on all points
robcorneliusAll because she spoke out against capitalism, fascism, colonialism and genocide.
AndrocatIt's a new heuristic: If liberals support you, you're not getting your message across.
Crampi@freakonometrics à la seconde où elle a commencé à parler des vrais causes derrière l’écologie molle (le capitalisme, l’impérialisme…) on l’a viré du mainstream
Lucie@freakonometrics I even believe she attracts the hatred of liberals who can't stand her courage, her independence, her uncompromising fight.
I admire this person greatly.
I admire this person greatly.
Fardels BearThis is because Thunberg saw through them, and walked away from their self-serving photo opps. They weren't able to corrupt her into becoming a useful icon of the liberal establishment.
Integrity is a rare thing. It upsets powerful people.

Never mind the Liberals. Greta Thunberg is my compatriot, and in Europe we have actual Socialists in parliament. The "Liberal" party helped form the current government with support from the Fascists.
C.This is an odd article, based on a bizarre assumption. For some reason, the author seems to think that if someone shared a particular belief (the specific tenets of environmentalism that Thunberg touted) with her, they must obviously agree with and endorse all of her positions on other issues.
Why? There is no logical reason. Perhaps you agree with someone's position on universal basic income, but disagree with them on regulation of political donations. Or you endorse someone's promotion of protection of endangered species, but are opposed to their protest against resource development in some particular area.
There is no reason to say "You agree with X, therefore you must also agree with Y" here.
Morgan ⚧️@cazabon @freakonometrics no one has to believe everything anyone says. But it's pretty damning how all of the white liberals who loved her environmental work so much do not give a shit about a genocide happening before our eyes, do not give a shit about their precious golden child being tortured by the fascists committing the genocide, and are just pretending she doesn't exist now because she also cares about suffering they'd rather endorse

To me it never felt all the attention for Greta was what about her message.
It was more of a hype, a sensational happening, a Hollywood story. A story about a hero coming to save us. But climate change isn't a story and tackling it is hard and a boring one. (Although I feel it could bring us many good things in the long run).
Don't get me wrong: this is not an attack on Greta, she's amazing. But all the hoopla around it was just nonsense.
