I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like "fuck you greta!" on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her "having gone too far" in hushed voices. Only ppl I've met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org
Lmao everyone around me says her parents forced her to do activism and she's a fake. Real quiet now that the media has shut up about her because she criticizes the system.
I am all about kill your heroes etc, so I don't follow her and only hear about her every few months, and while I am always positively surprised, she wouldn't be the first to take a nose dive at a moment's notice. At the same time, I don't think she's actually trying to sell out, her shit is extremely unsellable ever since she dropped the lib "school strike" and went in with more hardcore activism. I think she might be genuine, and I say that as somebody who thought she was just a preppy kid back during her strike years (she comes from a well-off family etc).

How does one 23 year old with no army "go too far"?
Libs.
It's the mirror image of the reactionary "this kind of activism only pushes people away"

I admit I am sceptical about her. She has this "trying to sell out" vibe, but I guess the ruling class doesn't actually care to buy her loyalty.

She could have sold out for millions long ago. Now the media try to keep a gag on her. She's too far gone for them to buy her out.
