    How is Greta a lib? She regularly criticized the Biden-Harris admin too, and regularly criticizes neoliberalism in general

      Thuberg has been arrested and tossed in a Zionist torture camp for attempting to deliver aid to victims of genocide. She’s earned her place as one of the best people to ever live regardless of any of her ideological quirks. She’s an actual embodiment of heroism.

      She has genuine fucking conviction and should be lauded until the end of time

      i’m not saying she’s a lib

      i’m saying insulting trump personally (as opposed to criticizing his policies, ideology, etc) has become the main way that libs keep telling themselves Everything Is Fine, so much so that any criticism of him personally reads as lib cope to me, at least at first glance

      greta has put in the work over the years to not be subjected to this criticism

        Yeah I think the good majority of what Greta says relate to policy and ideology, nothing wrong with some personal insults mixed in, but ofc the liberal media will focus on catchy quotes like this over her actual substance. Also it’s not like she called him a foul-mouthed cheeto, she just said made a joke on how he’s a demented war criminal, which we do all the time, and did for Biden as well
