  • I don’t think anyone is mad at her, people are looking at this and seeing naked corrupt authoritarianism.

    So to explain my confusion, not wanting things to progress is something I don’t understand, so when you said progressive I then thought you were saying Greta is doing good.

    Fundementally, being against progression means you are regressive. I think being static isn’t something well defined, because it doesn’t seem feasible, it would required being entirely insular, i.e. solipsistic, which is mad.

    If you don’t mind me asking, why do you want things to regress? In recent times ( bar the rise of the far right ideologies causing a fair bit of war and death), it’s statistically been one of the most peaceful periods in history, bar some notable regions, really Europe’s stopped brutally annihilating each other. Arguably, this has been due to global cooperation on an economic and cultural level, it could be nuclear weapons as well, but cooperation is good, so I would personally roll with it.

    Would you prefer to go back to a time when countries where more insular and thus more likely to end up in war with each other? Or what other benefits do you see in being regressive?


  • I think I maybe mistook the tone of your comment.

    I think Greta is in a position to make a difference and amazingly in a non violent way. So when you said you far left activitist etc… It came across as the typical brain washed drivel you get from people who have been taken over and are being driven by snake oil salesmen that appear to have taken over general public discourse globally.

    You’re response, saying you think far left as progressive makes me think I was harsh in thinking this as I do think Greta is progressive, which I think is idionatically correct, however I don’t think Greta’s stance or activism is far anything so that is where my confusion came from.
