Greta Thunberg: It’s time to transform the West’s oppressive and racist capitalist system
NOVEMBER 4, 2022
By Paul Homewood

The Telegraph has finally woken up to the fact that Greta is a tool of the far left:

From a climate change campaigner to presenting a new far-Left political agenda against “racist” capitalism – meet the new Greta Thunberg.

The 19-year-old Swedish activist has announced that as well as tackling her usual area of climate action and awareness-spreading, she has now thrown her weight behind defeating the West’s “oppressive” capitalist system.

Calling for a “system-wide transformation” at her book launch in London, she claimed that the world’s current “normal” – dictated by the people in power – has caused the climate breakdown.

She said: “We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis. What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.

“It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”

There you go, dumb*ss that I am, I had written the sweet little thing off as nothing but an everyday climate expert but now find she is an expert on everything.  Man, was I wrong. *****rollingeyes*****

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

She doesn't really know what she is saying, much like Brandon, she just parrots what daddy and her other handlers tell her. I'm positive my two year old Lab mix is more intelligent than her and definitely more enjoyable to be around than some doom and gloom Gaia worshiping mental defective.

'Her' book launch?  Isn't that what capitalists do?  Write books and sell them for profit?

If she wants to fight capitalism, then she should market this as 'the people's book launch' and let the government keep all the money.

Greta Thunberg:

 What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.


1.  "Exploiting people" is NewSpeak for giving them jobs they willingly take for money they need to buy things in capitalist stores.
2.  Exploiting the planet" is NewSpeak for extracting minerals from the earth and growing plants in it, as all civilizations have done for thousands of years.

Evidently these socialists think everyone on earth should live as hunter-gatherers, as the ~500 people do on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Sea.

There is one nation on earth currently recognized as being "sustainable." That country is Cuba.  Socialists should move there and practice their environmental sanctimony.

Surely the great(in her mind) Greata will donate all the profits to some worthy green charity, probably one that daddy sets up and has himself and Greta as the sole board members drawing salaries that just happen to be almost every penny of whatever book profits there are, you know just like the Clintons, the Soetoros, er, Obamas, and Bidens.
