        Alright then - put your money where your mouth is. If getting on a boat to draw international coverage of a genocide isn’t enough - what did you do to fight evil today?

          I told a rightwinger that if he drew Trump’s face on all of his cumsocks, he might get off quicker.

          He’s still a Trump supporter, but, the genocide didn’t end, so.

          0 - 0 Me and Greta rn. No clear winner.

            Pro tip - directly insulting a Trump supporter with that kind of irrelevant remark doesn’t really help.

            You want to look for pain points and hypocrisy. Do they have kids? Talk about what happened at Miss Teen America. Are they flipping their lid about Trump protecting ‘merkins from sharia law? Ask them why he supports Al-Sharaa.

            Greta, you know, kinda got international news to cover Gaza here? Also got international news to cover our impending climate disaster?

            Talk is a form of activism. Just because you don’t get instant results doesn’t mean that it’s pointless.

        She hasn’t prevented fascism so her efforts have been fruitless? Kinda nonsense argument is that?

        She started a worldwide youth climate strike movement involving millions in 150+ countries over thousands of strikes. Encouraged global youth and political reforms, even influencing local government decisions in places like the U.S, credited with inspiring the “Greta effect”: shifts in public attitudes and behaviors on climate action. Made flight-free travel a trend, boosting the “flygskam” (flight shame) movement in Scandinavia, which reduced domestic flights in Sweden by ~9% in 2019. Put actual pressure on the systems at large and has impacted their decision making. List goes on. These are deep systemic changes she’s successfully pushing.

        With no backing other than having a spine. MAGAts love to pretend her parents pushed her into it but it was the other way about.
