The answer doesn't even value democracy, like her wish could be to remove all institutional barriers which block the will of the people from getting carried out or something.
:cringe:
That's a woofer of a take. At the same time, I'm glad my dumbass political takes weren't broadcast to the world when I was 18.
Ditto. Plus I'm glad basically nothing I said until I was in around my mid 30s has any digital record at all. Even after that my takes weren't great but at least they weren't cringe city. Plus - Dubya, Cheney and their horrible co-presidency administration were the lowest hanging fruit imaginable.
Christ, I have some letter to the editor in my college newspaper with some lib-tier take on the Iraq occupation.
I am legit too terrified of cringing to look it up.
Once I was on the net all the time during Dubya - I was big into Myspace. I was a big time lib back then. I'm certain some of my takes would make me really cringe. But I was anonymous. I don't know what I would have said if my real name had been attached. But my comments would have had far less humor and stuff like sarcasm.
That's the most depressing thing I've seen or read this year. Fuck.
I assumed he'd wish for Beau's tumor to be moved to Hunter's head.
But, let's be honest, he'd probably wish for cuts to social security or some dumb shit.

I loved it when she quoted her neoliberal pal with this gem:
…and I love it when she has takes like this! Her and XR are going to end up looking like such bizarre curiosities from this age.
You know you're getting a primo bad take when there's an descriptor added in front of capitalism.
:wojak-nooo: that’s not capitalism that’s _____ capitalism
this should be a tagline for the site
actually I guess it's not ironic enough
I like the bitcoin cowboy in the replies explaining that bitcoin expends no energy because people would have spent that energy on something else
Her and XR are going to end up looking like such bizarre curiosities from this age.
She's going to be memory holed just like a thousand other activists from the 80s, 90s, and 00s.
Anyone still remember Code Pink and the Gold Star Moms?
She's always been a publicity stunt and a manufactured celebrity. A 15 year old suddenly getting national press?
I mean that should be obvious. The second she starts saying something the Democrats do not like, she'll be Malala'd.
BS if she was actually talking to Biden she would wish for him to stop rubbing her shoulders.
gee I thought a habitable planet was the most precious thing we have but what the fuck do I know
just think of all the other habitable planets we have though, like uhhhhhh..... and ummmmm
If democracy has brought us to the planet burning, of what use is that democracy?
Dumb kid. She's cooler than me at her age but she's still utterly terrible. Maybe she'll grow up to stop being terrible. Unlikely.
seems liberal as fuck
Yes she is Swedish
I think she’s almost 18 now, so I’m not sure if she’ll change her mind much.
:what: Setting aside the specific case of Greta Thunberg and her rich family, this is a pretty silly thing to say
18 years old are often pretty dumb. Its not because a bunch of countries wrote a piece of paper saying you are an adult that suddenly you become mature when you reach that age.
Not only is she 18, but the global media treats her as the pr speaker for all of climate activism. Yes, the answer is not that good or inspiring but let's be honest, the question was stupid and any substantial answer would have been distorted by a thousand pundits.
THAT'S WHY IT'S A MAGIC WAND NOT A BEND REALITY WAND. IT'S SUPER NATURAL GRETA! She's a CIA asset now screenshot this for when she endorses some literal republican for president in 28
it's not even self-consistent lol, is humanity's survival not what should we instantly presume is the most democratic position possible, or like are you assuming that people will literally vote to die in a pretty horrible way, and also why is the US through their limited democratic institutions be the only one that actually gets to vote on the future of humankind, that doesn't seem very democratic either.
What a stupid answer. She could literally choose to use the magic wand to make America actually democratic if the magic wand being undemocratic was such an issue.
