Weaponised autism.

Holy fuck. She didn't just know it's potential, she was one of us. She was sending us a message.

Except I'm AuDHD and I'm not sure what the message was

What Israel did to her is disgusting. Not surprising, but their cruelty never ceases

According to another person that was kidnapped with her off the flotilla and 'detained' they...
Weren't giving them all proper amount of water or food.

They dragged Greta by her hair.
Beat her.
Make her kiss the Israeli flag.

You know, mild torture and mental abuse.

No, you didn't.
That's the point.
Welcome to human nature.

When your horrible, awful, secret agenda is that you want the world to be a better place where people can live in peace and safety, like you've been loudly (and somehow also secretly) proclaiming for nearly a decade.

greta is amazing i don't understand why grown ass men are so afraid of her on twitter.

65

Cause they're gormless cowards who were told to hate her? Frankly speaking if you ever get the chance compare a garden variety cut off from media dipshit to one that is balls deep into watching fuckwads like Jordon Peepeeman and Charlie Owmyneck.

Because she tends to fight for things they people know to be true, but just have accepted to ignore because it makes their life simpler. Getting confronted with being a bad person tends to make people defensive, especially if it's a young girl doing that to "though" men. These guys can't handle criticism like that because it hurts their ego

12

They're all weak ass men who only act tough because they're white (thinking they're better than the next person). Fuck em all to hell.

Ha! I have that same shirt. I have never worn it in public yet, but maybe I will now find an excuse to.

The AliExpress algorithm apparently knows me intimately and I didn’t even have to search for it. Seems like “autism skeleton shirt” will get you there, though.

It has also suggested shirts that say things like “I eat cement.” How does it know!?

Makes sense that she'd be autistic. Double empathy is crazy. Every time I hear about what she's doing, I legitimately wish I could go with her.

27

It's interesting to me, I'm pretty sure it's been very public/very talked about common knowledge that she is autistic since she first started making waves. Like it was probably her primary/only descriptor in headlines for a long time.

I don't know if she is or isn't. But I know I am, and that she's a hero and an idol to me.

So that's anecdotal, but combined with the shirt and my autism radar I'd say probably yes

13

She is, and she's pretty much credited her autism for her focus and drive on these issues.

11

The worst thing about this, is that those who deserve to suffer the least, suffer the most. She is fairly vulnerable, and can't take what they will do to her. They will make an example of her.

Not going to lie, I really want to straight up nuke Israel at this point.

Violence begets violence and there are a few israelis who are against all of this for the right reasons, but i get your feeling.
Turning all those "holly" sites into radioactive wasteland would solve a lot of issues.

11

Should we completely dismiss what this girl is doing because she has no clue, or do we read into what statements she could make through images on her T-shirt because she might have a hidden agenda? What is it, zios?

Everywhere is an echo chamber you just need to recognize what it's echoing and not getting caught up in it.

Eh, I agree with you, but Lemmy is it's own special flavor of echo chamber. In the real world I'm super leftist, but on Lemmy I'm somehow the voice of conservatism. Lemmy needs some additional feedback because most everyone is saying the same thing as everyone else without any contrary opinion.

It's entirely possible you're not as leftist as you think you are, but there's also a number of tankies around here.

most likely a right winger pretending to be a leftist. it always starts with "im a leftist, but,,,

True but there are a lot of like full tilt anarchists and, I guess I'd call them soviet flavored "communists" here as compared to like reddit. But mostly a lot of people just don't really know what constitutes left or right wing.

You might be right, my statements come from a US frame of reference. In the total spectrum I'm probably fairly centrist while in nonUS perspectives, but in US perspectives I'm moderate heavily leaning left. At the end of the day I still believe in a democracy which still leaves openings for conservatives. I'm not a true socialist in leftist European environs.

Then yeah, center-left at best.

US politics isn't the real world. If anything it's more of an echo chamber than Lemmy. Because the working class really isn't represented at all and it's just the oligarchs arguing with each other from the center and the far right.

And surprise, you are outside the capitalist bubble. On a federated platform now hearing the actual opinions of working-class people, not the opinions of Democrats. Or their echoes from your liberal countrymen.

And leftist argue so much we have jokes about it, and how we can't get anything done in spite of the fact that solidarity is one of our guiding principles. I am a far leftist. I'm anti authoritarian to my core. There are also authoritarian leftists, people who get called tankies around here a lot. Apologists for Stalin and Mao.

Just because you've been living in a propaganda bubble, ie an echo chamber your whole life, that does not make things outside that bubble an echo chamber.

"Lemmy is an echo chamber"

post originates from Xitter and has been reposted on numerous platforms to basically the same reaction

The post I'm responding to is on Lemmy.World and everyone in the comments is saying the same thing over and over again so idk what you want with your response. Be obtuse if you want.

echo chambers are fine; i'd rather spend my time with likeminded people instead of yelling and arguing. if i wanted to do that i'd join debate club.

Echo chambers are shit, it's the reason the world is the way it is. If you want to sit in a circle and jerk off with people that share your opinion then be my guest, but to pretend it's a good thing is a bridge too far. Honest discourse and people checking each other is the foundational rhetoric of a democratic society, without it democracy dies.

The outside world is full of conservative hate and outright racism at the moment, it's ok to have a space where people aren't actively hateful. Surrounding yourself with hate every day is more detrimental imo. Lemmy gives me a feeling of hope.

I'll fetch the 🍿 as i prepare to read the comments.
