Depends what county arrested her. She definitely needs to be careful about traveling to certain locations.
?
aaaaahh.... how did the little girl hurt you mate?
because a little girl supporting 'everything anti-western' really just wants to stop dumbfucks from fucking up our atmosphere more. you should want that too.
you know picking on a little girl is a pretty lame look right? when she's literally on the right side of history?
everything anti-western... woof.
honestly did not see that coming as everyone of her critics I've met have been hard-right drill baby morons.
but I can accept it into my reality and adjust my worldview. been all over the US and UK, some bits of asia - I haven't seen evidence of western civilization falling any time soon, regardless of the critiques of some kid.
The biggest threat to western civilization and coincidentally, humanity, is the enormous threat of climate change. Not nuclear war, not hypercapitalism, not even the downfall of american democracy - the largest looming threat is our ability to adapt to a planetary shift in weather that will kill people in large swathes. The remainder will flee.
That's what the entire world, including the western world, should be focused on - and if they were, they'd easily be above her critique.
They are not.
Further: western civ needs a ww2-scale crash effort world wide to eliminate CO2. Eliminate racing, eliminate coal rolling, any motor sport that isn't run electric on renewable energy from snow-mobiles and watercraft to pleasure cruising, mandate emissions testing country wide, crank the price of hydrocarbons in every avenue way up. Probably limit/eliminate 2 stroke engines (some can be fiendishly efficient but they don't represent the galaxy of shitty ones out there spewing oil and unburned fuel). And a thousand other things.
If we did it today, I'd give us 50/50 of surviving.
We'll be lucky to see those kinds of changes by 2050, knowing western civilization. But please focus on the kid.
