In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
Ye it's incredible, why would the right be obsessed with a person that became the living symbol of some of the most horrific and disastrous takes of the left?
It's not like that person had any major impact on politics anyway, why did the right obsess with her?
the left at the end just invited her to speak to the european parliament multiple times, why would the right obsess with her?
I mean she was alway a minor player why would the right care
why are they inviting kids to speak instead of phds who actually studied it first hand
what value is there in that?
is the un going after the infinite monkeys strategy but using teenagers instead?
Why did politicians use naive yet passionate young people, rather than scientists, to incite an emotional response, you ask?

This would be like getting furious about DJ Daniels if the Trump administration was using him to champion their increased spending on cutting edge cancer research in kids. Like, yeah its pandery and annoying but its cancer research in kids.
For that particular brand of conspiracy theorist who enjoys being the promoter and driver of discussion, this must be very awkward.

so despite how wildly unpopular it was to brute force the viewpoints of an uneducated child to steer global policy (she's one of the most disliked people in the world) you still think it was a good decision?
we're once again on the same side here coordi, i just disagree with the methodology that you think was brilliant as i think it was an unforced error, a total disaster
coordi, she was asked to speak to the un
clearly there was some irrational obsession going on from the left long before the right ever heard of her
the US left hates her now too. as soon as she started talking about socialism to solve climate change it was gg. and now that she wants to feed starving people they are fine with her being murdered.
I can't wait for the first attempts to prosecute.

lol @ "brute force"
A UN Climate Action Summit where 15 other kids were also invited to speak on climate change
What about being named Time's person of the year?
I'm not sure what coordi's claim is here so I'm trying to figure that out but it seems like he's arguing that she's some random nobody that the "right" is obsessed with.
yes cordie denies Greta had exceptional, "super human" coverage 24/7/365 for years by all center-left affiliated media, and that's why the right keeps talking about her now, now that she is a living joke and an easy target of mockery and disgust.
She also shifted allin pro Hamas , something that didn't surprise any actual rightwing european observer, as we always knew radical leftists were all antisemites.
Basically Greta is the n-th living example of how horrible the left is at picking it's "heroes"
The "Person of the Year" award is not an endorsement. Stalin, Hitler, and Trump have all been Time Person of the Year. In 2001 it was a close pick between Giuliani and Bin Laden. It's a recognition that someone has had an outsized influence on worldwide events that year.

Probably because she didn't.

So why did you ask tongue in cheek why "the right is obsessed with Greta"? she is someone who had outsized influence about what rightwingers see as some of the worst ideas people can have, it is not an obsession to see a prime cultural enemy losing clout and discuss that at length.
Greta literally symbolized most of what many rightwingers consider absolute evil.
If American "libertarianism" was a serious political movement, this would be its moment to shine. However, it isn't a serious movement, it is just a lazy label of convenience. I'm sure actual libertarians exist, but for the most part what you get is lucionism, aka. badly disguised nationalism-adjacent conservatism which rejects the idea that rights are universal.
American libertarianism got heavily involved with hyper conservatism and states rights first over the slavery issue when it was more proto libertarianism then directly with civil rights. Now the debates are why libertarians are fine with state resources being used to make sure parents aren’t leaving the state to get their kids gender affirming care.

I didn't. I guess all of us leftists look the same to you, huh?
Yeah man, she looks like she'd devour your soul for breakfast.
The face of evil.
You need to remember that Lucy has a problem with definitions of English words.
the last time an aid flotilla got near Gaza the IDF executed 10 people on board fwiw. I would imagine if the ship gets boarded that some soldier already has his eye on her.
to symbolize
be a symbol of.
"the ceremonial dagger symbolizes justice"
represent by means of symbols.
"a tendency to symbolize the father as the sun"
evil
harmful or tending to harm.
"stories about the evil effects of television on children make good copy"

for right-wing people, giving up fossil fuels and capitalism in general (remember Greta also talked socialist crap a lot) is very very harmful for humanity.

I think its weird that Republican politicians in the US are posting fantasies about the IDF attacking Greta Thuneburg.
This weirdness is compounded by the 7+ years of hate filled obsession that has surrounded her
She won person of the year at 16 for being a passionate activist and Lucio wants us to believe shes the embodiment of the antichrist
Ignoring that hes (per usual) making my point for me, thats a really weird point of view to have.

I didn't comment on the brilliancy or effectiveness of the tactic, simply that it was
She didn't steer global policy.
Would have to see some hard data on her being "one of the most disliked people in the world". She was the target of the Right Wing propaganda machine and a lot of middle aged weirdos have strong opinions about her, but your claim is beyond questionable.
I often make comments simply to hold up the mirror to right wingers. If one of my friends was raging about this evil 15 year old trying to save the ice caps I'd tell them directly they are being a weirdo.
When you look around and your "side" is joking about killing a teenager because she believes in climate change most introspective people would be like, "Why is my side doing this?"
Most posters here just say "Wow I'm one handsome piece of ****" and that bothers me and is the main reason I am antagonistic towards many posters
