        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.

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

    I appreciate what Ms. Thunberg does and says. She’s my moral barometer.

      No single person should be your moral barometer.

      Stanning is bad.

      (I also appreciate everything I’ve heard of Greta Thunberg saying and doing.)

        Truth.

        In the kind words of Immortal Technique, and I quote…;

        “I’m just a man, don’t follow me nigga.”

        I’m sure Greta says the same in other words. …or maybe even the same words if she’s around her close group of friends…

      I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.

    Oh no a young woman famous for climate activism said something. Bust out your pitchforks, chuds.

    Who’s silent on this? It’s easily the biggest story on the planet right now.

      A lot of people are denying that it’s a genocide, despite all the obvious facts. And those people are the ones in power in many western countries.

        If it was obvious why didn’t the Court issue a cease and desist order like they did for Russia? Seems like they’d use the power available to them if the accusations were plainly evident wouldn’t they?

          They wouldn’t against Israel, for the same reasons they wouldn’t against the U.S. if the U.S. did the same. I’m pretty sure the U.S. is violating international law ATM in regards to the border they share with Mexico, and I expect no action will be taken against them.

      Outside of the internet, mainstream media is very silent on the actual goings on for the most part

        I don’t watch much cable news but whenever I see it on, there’s coverage of this. The radio show I listen to touches on multiple facets of it daily… seems like we live in different eco systems.

          This is the beauty of not consuming any MSM: you can believe it has said or not said anything you need it to have in order to confirm your beliefs.

          Granted i don’t bother with much mainstream media myself so I guess I’m saying it in a way that of the parts of mainstream media that often bubble up their way to me, I’ve not really heard much recently

        What mainstream media are you referring to exactly?

        Or perhaps you’re trying to say that US media is silent on it? Because there’s a lot more news organisation’s than just US ones.

              BBC make online articles about everything and anything. I guess they would be considered mainstream but I was specifically thinking outside of the internet. But I’m just making excuses now so it doesn’t really matter, guess I’ve just not seen as much as others have recently or just not realised the sources for what I have seen.
