Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg has turned her attention to the political arena, calling for the downfall of capitalism, which she claimed is responsible for climate change.
The 19-year-old climate campaigner launched her book – ‘The Climate Book’ – in London on Sunday night, telling the audience that the world is “never going back to normal again.” She argued that global warming can only be solved by a “system-wide transformation,” according to a write-up of the event by the Telegraph.
The capitalist system, Thunberg continued, is “defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”
“If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting,” she added, before calling the extraction of fossil fuels “racist.”
As some of Thunberg’s critics pointed out online, global living standards have broadly risen under capitalism, while carbon emissions have fallen in the capitalist USA since the turn of the millennium. Thunberg replied to these critics on Wednesday, stating that she is not advocating for a return to “socialism, liberalism, communism, conservatism, centrism, you name it,” which she said “have all failed.”
Thunberg, who has previously been criticized for failing to offer solutions to the problems she outlines, did not say what kind of system she would replace capitalism with.
Shooting to fame after she organized a series of school walk-outs in her native Sweden in 2018, Thunberg has since delivered her dramatic predictions of ecological armageddon to lawmakers across the Western world, to UN summits, and to the World Economic Forum’s yearly gatherings at Davos, Switzerland. WEF founder Klaus Schwab is also an advocate of radically restructuring the global order, a vision he calls “the Great Reset.”
Despite spending several years on the globalist circuit, Thunberg will skip the UN COP27 climate conference in Egypt next week, telling her audience that she now views the summit as a “scam” and an example of “greenwashing” – an attempt by politicians to falsely portray themselves as environmentally friendly.
Best meme of the year goes to…
Send her to North Korea. The will put her to work in a factory so she will stop complaining.
Says the little girl selling her new book in a capitalist market. “Money for me...none for thee.”
I thought she just had Asperger, but that is a misdiagnosis as she is clearly retarded
C’mon, Laz...take one for the team, and settle this girl down a bit, will ya?
There are three types of capitalism:
(1) Socialistic/communistic totalitarian capitalism
(2) Fascistic totalitarian capitalism
(3) Free-market capitalism
My pick is for #3
Well, she's right about that.
Get rid of Capitalism, says the 19 year millionaire.
this was the same vile leftist/socialist/nazi who said ‘climate deniers’ should be lined up agaisnt the wall or something to that effect-
[[Makes sense that a clueless female teeny-bopper is the spokeswoman for the Delusional Lying and Clueless Left.]]
And that biden is their ‘best hope’, and fetterman is also apparently their ‘best hope’ etc
THERE it is!
Scoldilocks = tw@t!
“She must be talking about that capitalist country China.”
Exactly what I was thinking.
The only good thing about this idiot finally speaking the truth about Climate Change is even her deluded mind KNOWS that Capitalism helps people succeed and build a future; if you want a stone age future, we must destroy Western Capitalism and instill COMMUNISM EVERYWHERE!
Of course, that would be best for the world...**cough** F@CK! **cough** YOU!! **cough**!!
I remember when “19 yr old Swedish girls” were called Anita Ekberg…
What da HECK has happened?!?!?!?!?!?
