Admits? Acknowledging that destroying capitalism is key to addressing the climate catastrophe is like admitting the sky is blue (or orange and smoky, as the case may be).

It would be real weird if she did not conclude this

[-] rostad@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Agreed! And at least one young public figure says it.

Most people don't want to face the truth of the propaganda in front of them. It is easy to believe what your state wants you to believe. or keep you in a box to talk about anything other than capitalism.

I'm sorry to use such harsh language, but anyone who doesn't understand that the world cannot be saved under capitalism is a few eggs short of a dozen.

I want people to have a good think and realize what's the end game in capitalism. Each generation, more wealth and resources are hoarded by the most rich and powerful, and lower classes are left with less and less.

[-] letranger@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 1 year ago

the contradictions of capitalism will be the end of itself, however we are now in a race with climate change, so we may end up in perishing in mass by unlivable wet bulb temperatures.

the water wars will be interesting though.

ipcc report ftw.

Well she's not wrong......

[-] signofzeta@lemmygrad.ml 59 points 1 year ago

Good for her. She finally grew up and saw reality.

[-] chocoraisinboi@lemmygrad.ml 36 points 1 year ago

comrade, she is just aoc for zoomers

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 60 points 1 year ago

AOC is AOC for zoomers, Greta doesn’t have any power and there’s still some hope for her.

She just supported people that blown up Nordstream, Kakhovka dam (and a lot of other things), shelled nuclear plant, started and maintain that war and use depleted uranium shells. I would say that even from a strictly ecological point of view she fucked up incredibly.

I love how some people hold her to much higher standards than the politicians they vote for.

I hope she has a good future. This is a good citizen of this world, something we lack dearly.

Man, this comment section is something

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 year ago

I think the "late stage capitalism" subreddit was lib friendly, so they see this one and behave the way they did there.

I’m used to everything pro-Ukraine on this instance being downvoted to hell. Everyone who supports Russia is being downvoted instead. What is going on?

[-] QueerCommie@lemmygrad.ml 41 points 1 year ago

Must have showed up on a bunch of people from other instances’ “all” feeds.

[-] RedSquid@lemmygrad.ml 29 points 1 year ago

Lot of Nazi fans popping in from other instances I guess.

I'm glad she came to this conclusion, but her actions after that statement don't seem to go too hand in hand.

Realize the root of our biggest problems is inherent to the capitalist system we created and live in [speedrun - any%]

[-] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 1 year ago

Schellenberger is such a clueless opportunist that he can't possibly understand. It's incredibly ironic when you look at the various things he's argued for in the past as well.

[-] whou@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago
