    She is both a climate activist and advocate for Palestinian liberation, and framing her risking her life to demonstrate solidarity with the Palestinians as a shallow attempt at staying famous is incredibly ignorant and arrogant.

      arrogant, just looking for big words now?

      did you notice her name hasn’t been in the news for a while? climate change didn’t stop being a problem…

      she’s sticking her face into something she has no expertise with… why wasn’t she on the boat then? risking your life isn’t that noble if you’re not doing anything with it. she’s not good at navigating boats or unloading them, she has no callouses on her hands… she has no purpose for being on that boat other than symbolism

        This is ridiculous. What would Greta have to do to earn your respect, huh? You’re really gonna ask “why wasn’t she on the boat” as if she planned for the humanitarian aid vessel to be drone striked the day before she was going to board it? The fuck are you doing?

            Right, white people aren’t allowed to be activists. Instead they should bitch and moan in internet comment sections about activists not doing enough or not doing the right things while doing nothing themselves.
