    The point of activism is to get more people to talk about issues and to bring about change. There’s billions of us. A single person will never be credited with changing the public opinion on anything, that’s not how things work. It’s unfair to ask what she has accomplished because she’s not in a line of work where results are immediate and obvious. And she’s only 22. Millions of people are talking about climate change and other issues thanks to her. Can you name a more (positive)influential person?

    Yes, she’s successful. How many activists can you name over the top of your head? I’m sure the list is short. And most of them don’t get as many headlines written nor do they gather the same amount of people.

    Do you want someone to go around the world and ask each person who inspired them to be better humans? Do you want to ask politicians why they pass each bill and which protest forced them to finally take action? Or how do you propose we quantify her success if not by number of followers and articles written?

        Ever heard of strength in numbers? You can’t organize shit without people. And these “celebrities” bring people. But sure, you go ahead and organize your friends and she’ll do what she thinks is best too. As long as Gaza gets help, doesn’t really matter who did the most.

            There isn’t one? Are you joking? What is This then? 1.2 million donated by the foundation as of 2022. Money from awards, prizes and donations. That’s nothing, right?

            What about This one? Which claims “started in 2018, when 15-year old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate.” They gathered millions of people for strikes and they name her as inspiration. But that’s nothing as well, right?

            Man, if only everyone in the world was as useless as Greta…

                I’m aware that different states have different laws but in no state does possession of a weapon magically obviate all claims of self defense against an unarmed person.because possession of a weapon in no way obviates the risk to you that you are attempting to ameliorate by killing the fucker.

                EG if someone broke into your home to rape and murder you you aren’t going to jail for stabbing them with a kitchen knife. If you disagree pick a specific state where you think the law works like that and I’ll be happy to look at the relevant info.

                Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize only activism in person works. My bad. Oh, wait… she does that too… anyway, I’m done with you, I suggest your seek help, it can’t possibly be healthy to need to put others down to feel better about yourself. And you think I’m the angry one, hahaha, funny.
