Why do you attack the OP this way? Do you really think that they are maliciously trying to hide away Greta's politics?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I think that saying "the moment she espoused certain politics, she vanished" while not acknowledging she and the movement held these positions while she was featured prominently in the news is kind of dishonest.

Honestly I think half of "leftists" you see online are just right wingers yelling in bad faith to create a rift. They know we are so ideological and ready to cancel each other if we fail to meet our purity tests that they just need to toss in a match to make the left crumble.

Aside, aperantly Christianity is making a comeback with Gen Z, and one theory is that at least Christianity has an element of forgiveness (turn the other cheek), where atheists who base their morals on secular philosophy can become very harsh in their criticism and once someone is out, they are out. I can absolutely see the appeal of this change for the youth. I only say this as sometimes we do need to look in the mirror. If we are so smart, why do we always lose?

Of course this is the Internet where we kinda just bring out the worst in people.

We don't always lose. As bad as the political situation is now, it's still better than the late 1800s, and even that was better than fuedalism. "Winning" is going to require the (unsexy) building of resilient systems without glaring weak points.

Every time we try representatives and fail, or try a vanguard party and fail, we learn a little bit more about what doesn't work.

Where did you hear that Christianity is making a comeback with Gen Z? I'm not sure that's true.

People are pushing "gen x men are right wi.g" propaganda to try and make it so with argumentum ad popularam
