Remembered Malala, the girl who fought for basic human rights for little girls so they could go to school? She still exists, the media just stopped talking about her once they found out she had “extreme” beliefs ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      And maybe tomorrow Vaush will wake up, realize he was wrong, start reading Lenin to his listeners and urging them to join a vanguard party and uphold anti-imperialism? But I wouldn’t count on it nor spend a moment of time considering the possibility in my evaluation or public statements about him. He is incentivized against doing that as is she.

      She’s over 18 now afaik. I’m pretty sure she’s in university now or something. Not that you’re not a kid in your early 20s buuut she’s not some young child like she was when she started at 15. Anyways I really doubt she’ll learn, she’s insulated and surrounded by people with a certain liberal activist worldview including her parents who are giving her a career and platform by behaving a certain way, they’re excuse the term (though it is correct here to describe this) grooming her to be a liberal relief valve for the climate emergency, one of many.

      Statistically very few people in her position escape the ideology so it’s unwise to count on it. And if she did and started talking like Malala about socialism she’d be instantly dumped, silenced and have nothing but her twitter account to use, no organizations, no real power as it would be pulled like a rug out from under her feet by the bourgeoisie, corporations, cops, who control in one way or another most modern environmental movements.

      She is an enemy of Marxism, an enemy of saving the planet. Not maliciously or intentionally so but she is an insufferable, ignorant liberal and on the balance rather than buying into the bourgeois hype around her and praying for her redemption like she’s a character on our favorite TV show we should acknowledge that overwhelming probability that she is a liberal in 10 years from now and will not change. For all we know she could be an open fascist in 10 years, it’s pointless to speculate except to say her politics are bad, she’s being used by bad people and there’s no reason to celebrate nor waste time on regarding her.

      There is no reason to give her the benefit of the doubt. There’s also no reason to go out of the way to actively attack her (other than pointing out to others what she is) as she’s largely unimportant and the liberal “activism” around climate has died down a bit since covid and with the Ukraine situation and Russia sanctions liberals in Europe are unabashedly turning to coal and shunning climate commitments so it really hardly matters as climate activism is in the worst place it’s been in two decades probably with this Russia/China containment stuff and the EU openly choosing fascism and being an American tool to the detriment of their own citizens and indeed to the detriment of much of their financial interests I just don’t see her mattering one way or the other. The EU has chosen suicide for their master the US, they’ve chosen fascism, environmental catastrophe for upholding their order.

        True. I don’t really pay attention to her or care what she thinks. I just noticed a lot of right wingers saying really nasty stuff about her when she was like 13.
