(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
Dude if I were in her position, I'd be shitting bricks. Big ups to her.
Jesus, those people have no shame?
Same group of people who joked about sexually assaulting her while she was underage... so no.
But don't disagree with killing her, or you'll be accused of being anti-Semitic.
Of course. You remember when God admonished us to attack the harmless?
I mean, Canaanite babies, livestock, and children (except those sexy virgin girls). Also the Midianites. There’s plenty of precedent for God-commanded genocide in there. And even the most prominent apologists tend to respond with “yeah but it’s ok because God said.”
Fuck all these warmonger assholes.
Guys, we know what to do, we have a name and internet: Arsen Ostrovsky, Lindsay Graham... OSINT and speak out
It is their right to play. They like to play with discourse using ridiculous reasons to discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in bad faith as it is their goal to intimidate and disconcert.

It's pretty funny that everyone's response to this is apathy and meming. We're so cooked
I was asked why I got radicalised. This would've been another event to radicalise me if I wasn't already
I gotta say I've gotten scared a few times these past couple of days with so many posts about Greta reaching the front page. Hearing about the boat that she decided to not be on getting attacked, her going there with another boat and them threatening her. And then opening Lemmy and seeing several different posts with her face as the thumbnail just thinking "please, no, don't be bad news" and then being relieved she's not dead, been taken hostage, or anything else bad. We need her.
Pretty on-brand for a bunch of fucking fascists
