Yes. Greta is well known for her violent tendency to be limply carried away by police from protests where she stands there…violently. have you seen the graphic photos of police carrying her away? It’s a wonder they survive the encounter.
The reason you don’t hear about Greta anymore is because she didn’t let her conscience stop at climate change. She’s a left wing activist fighting for social justice in all things.
The rich will mold her image in history the same way they did for MLK, leaving out all the aspects of her politics that make them squirm.
Happily, when Helen was a young woman she assumed blindness to be a misfortune. A cruel test from God that nobody could control. Then she was appointed to a body that advocated for the affairs of the blind. And was faced with the stark reality that much of the blindness in the world was caused by people. Industrial accidents and chemical exposures often caused by the greed and selfishness of the owning class and the minimal protection afforded to citizens who didn’t merit the governments protection. So she joined the wobblies, the IWW.
From which she soon became one of the most radical members.
In her own words from an interview with Barbara Bindley with the New York tribune, 1915
“What are you committed to - education or revolution?”
“Revolution.” She answered decisively. “We can’t have education without revolution. We have tried peace education for 1900 years and it has failed. Let us try revolution and see what it will do now.”
“I am not for peace at all hazards. I regret this war, but I never regretted the blood of the thousands spilled during the French Revolution. And the workers are learning how to stand alone. They are learning a lesson they will apply to their own good out in the trenches. Generals testify to the splendid initiative the workers in the trenches take. If they can do that for their masters you can be sure they will do that for themselves when they have taken matters into their own hands.”
“Don’t forget the workers are getting their discipline in the trenches,” Miss Keller continued. “They are acquiring the will to combat.”
The German Authorities: still keeping alive the Authoritarian mindset and “protecting” those commiting Genocide whilst claiming to represent a “superior” race from “Communists” and “lesser” races.
You can get the Nazi Party out of Germany but you can never get the Nazism out of the hearts of the kind of German who seeks power.
Unfortunately, as a German citizen, that is exactly what you would expect. In hardly any other country is the Israel lobby as strong as in Germany. In Germany, it is very easy for the supporters of the Netanyahu-regime, because the strategic accusations of anti-Semitism against anyone who even mildly criticizes the inhumane actions of the Israeli government weigh all the more heavily here. Regardless of whether it is legitimate criticism of a state - that doesn’t matter at all here, nor does it seem to matter how many international laws Israel may break or how many innocent lifes the IDF may take in order to pursue the inherently racist Zionist ideology this State stands for in recent days.

Attacking our batons with your shoulder blades and our pepper spray with your faces.
You said it. Shoulder BLADES
Exactly. That’s the first picture that came to my mind immediately. I describe it rather peaceful.

Same reason we immortalized the child version of Helen Keller. Though she lived to 87.
Or the Diary of Ann Frank. Easier to control the narrative around children than to discuss the politics of grown adults.

No wonder they teach it in schools.

And thus her statue

She gonna get the Julian Asange treatment
wow I never would’ve thought Germany to be in favor of genocide. I guess there’s a first for everything.
Greta is an absolute freak.
Her basic decency, which I have to assume is some kind of random genetic mutation, risks putting our species in a forgivable light.
Not cool Greta. You could at least throw some trash on the ground or something to fit in.
The press agency removed that part now and calls it a mistake.
Oh well it’s like it never happened then!
In my fantasies, Greta becomes the most feared revolutionary - like a new age Boudica, and sets the world to rights in a rampage of justice.
Well they have jumped the shark now.
Germans? No…

You’d never expect this from Germany, of all places.
Unfortunately, as a German citizen, that is exactly what you would expect. In hardly any other country is the Israel lobby as strong as in Germany. In Germany, it is very easy for the supporters of the Netanyahu-regime, because the strategic accusations of anti-Semitism against anyone who even mildly criticizes the inhumane actions of the Israeli government weigh all the more heavily here.

It makes sense that Israel would use Germany’s past to guilt-trip it into doing whatever it wants.
Then you don’t know present day Germany 🙁
