Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg, also known as GtG (abbreviation for "Greta the Great"), is a Swedish revolutionary communist leader. She was one of the main figures in the movement for neutralizing imperialism (MNI), and is one of the leading politicians in the multipolar world order (MWO). She had a key role in the partial recovery of Europe's sovereignty after decades of vassalage to the United States of America. Greta is also an environmentalist, and is known for the creation of the "Program for sustainable and just society". She is the author of the books "We need red to protect the green" and "Why we need to overthrow capitalism to save the Earth".

GtG is known for her direct and impactful statements in public speeches, addresses and summits. One of the most notable one is "How dare you tell us how to rule our countries when your own country has the highest debt and one of the highest inflation in the world". This was said to American president John Dickanhaughty during the third Euro-American summit. She said the phrase after the American president tell in a way that she considered "annoyingly condescending" that the socialist countries in Europe are, in John's words, "dangerously moving away from the correct form of democracy".

Greta started her career as an environmental activist. But she gradually moved to the sphere of politics. Her political ascension was initially aided by the empire, which saw her as a suitable ally in its agenda. But when she became a very successful and established politician in Europe, she broke up with the empire and revealed that she was actually a communist from the beginning. Trevis Tuckerson synthesized this cleverly: "GtG tricked the imperialists into believing that they were using her, when in reality she was using them to get funding and popularity".

GtG's successful socialist system applied in Sweden was used as a model for other European countries, such as Serbia and Greece.

A remarkable curiosity is that Greta almost always uses red clothes. She considers red "the leader of all colors" and "the optimal complement for the green of nature".

I had so much hope for her when I was a High Schooler. Unfortunately she’s just a tool of the neoliberals. I still can’t get over the fact that she’s essentially silent on the methane emissions from the NATO member-orchestrated attack on Nord Stream

It's easy to speak out about climate change, it's also not that difficult to take a nominally anti-capitalist position, at least in words...it's much more difficult to openly be a principled anti-imperialist. The position one takes on the proxy and hybrid wars that the empire is waging against against Russia and China is today's litmus test if someone is a serious enemy of the system or just paying lip service to radical causes while still being completely compatible with the status quo. Unfortunately she has failed that test.

Yea it’s disappointing, I mean I don’t expect much from her but c’mon the Nord Stream was a huge climate event, to not call that out is proof that you’re a hypocrite at best, a con-artist at worst

That shows where the priorities lie. It is more important to her (or her handlers) to not give rhetorical ammunition to Russia than it is for her to criticize those responsible for one of the worst man made environmental disasters of this century so far. She is being a good footsoldier in the anti-Russia crusade because to fall out of line on this would result in her losing her platform and her standing with the liberals.

Exactly, everybody and their uncle is "anti-capitalist" these days. It's not the radical moniker it might have been in, say, the 1990s.

Yep. I made the pic and the fic just for fun. She is most definitely a puppet. She was also silent about the Ohio train derailment disaster (right?). Besides, there is the theory that the green agenda pushed by the USA and its vassals does not aim to mitigate climate change, but instead aims to difficult the industrial growth of big developing countries like India and Brazil.

Even then, the green push from the US definitely won’t change the way the US goes to war over oil.

I've seen the effects of that last part firsthand. I'm friends with a lot of left-leaning people, particularly college friends in the biological sciences. It's a no brainer to be anti-capitalist as a bio/ecol major, of course, but they spouted vaguely eco-fash narratives about developing countries. Most libertarians and anarchists I've met hold similar views about China, India, etc., being major environmental threats and overpopulated, and that the best solution is a decentralized society and smaller global population. I don't think they're even thinking about what that actually means. Like, all the dots are there, but they refuse to connect them.
