Yeah, it’s true that in this case most people would never have to care about that. When I replied I was thinking about inheritance taxes in general. My bad.

Not that insane. Most people only concern themselves with their own issues. And if you’re a 40 year old whose childhood home is now worth 500k or whatever and you have to pay 200k in taxes in order to inherit it, then you probably want to vote against it because otherwise the government will take it.

Okay, take all that with a grain of salt because I’m not too familiar with inheritance law, but it’s based on multiple similar stories I’ve heard from people.

I still think it should be taxed, don’t get me wrong. But I understand why people are against it.

You do realize that it’s mainly the poor people who are suffering when the rich don’t get taxed, right? It’s the governments getting robbed, yes, but that wasn’t the main takeaway from that comment.

Everything is a CIA psyop nowadays. Everything bad happens because of the USA. Everything good happens because people are strong enough to resist US influence.

Look at Cuba. Amazing government that provides free healthcare and people are super educated. And all the issues that they have are because of the US embargo. All the other issues like freedom of speech and whatnot are not actually real, just another CIA psyop.

So see? The USA is both super powerful and super weak.

The same quote is also in the guardian article.

“They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency

Gaza aid flotilla in the title. Not Greta’s flotilla. Her name is there because she’s the most well known person there, probably and also because not everyone was arrested.

It says in the article

The Global Sumud Flotilla said most of its vessels were continuing their journey as of early Thursday morning, nearing the coast of the Gaza strip despite the interruptions.

Yeah, keep replying, that’ll definitely prove that you don’t give a fuck. Also pretty telling if that’s the only point you can argue against.

“get this through your fucking head”… lmao… you’d have a bit more credibility if you weren’t wrong out of the gate about the “no name on bluesky”… and the Carano thing… and if you weren’t cursing just because people disagree with you… And if you weren’t a no name on lemmy… Thanks but… for now I’ll go with the journalist

You are right about one thing, tho, I’ll give you that. Advertisers have a lot more power than me and you. But not all of us together. Sure, getting a ton of people to agree on one thing is hard, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. That’s what they want you do. To be little obedient little sheep that think they can’t do anything.

Disney has over 200k employees. Is it really that much of a stretch that one of them talked to a journalist? I’m not an accountant… haven’t ever talked to one that handles my workplace, but I still know how much money we’re making and how much other branches of the same company are making and what the drama in the other places is and so so much more… people talk… It’s that’s easy.

And even if it’s a lie… Is the 4B drop from disney also a lie? Is the fact that they promptly brought him back also a lie? The fact the first show after his return was watched by 3 times the normal amount of people? The number might be real or it might not, that’s how journalists’ sources work, but it’s accurate that the boycott worked. Even if there were only 10k people, it still had a visible effect. That’s what matters.

Well, after reading the whole thing… they have equally bad things to say about Russia and China, so I don’t think the article is written by a tankie. And even tho I disagree with their claims that Europe is sabotaging the peace talks in Ukraine (it’s obvious to most people that russia doesn’t wanna give up the land that they’ve taken and Ukraine isn’t happy to concede it either), I also can’t say for sure that they’re not. World leaders are known to be lying cunts and it wouldn’t surprise me to hear that they are indeed doing that. They probably think it’s a good thing that Russia is spending so much time and resources in Ukraine.

I know right? They’re gonna renew it until it is no longer profitable

Everyone that disagrees with Vlad and Xi’s truth is a lib, says the Georgescu voter xD funny how the truth only seems to come from governments that imprisons people that disagrees with them.

You mean the real sources that give quotes from far right populists with 0 elected officials and around 2% support because it can’t find anyone else to quote that actually support their claims? Please…

Why not? Praise is not a finite resource. One person getting praise doesn’t mean another is gonna get less. Sure, those doctors you’re talking about are getting less praise than her, but they’re also attracting less attention and fewer donations. Everyone has their role to play and getting bogged down on who’s doing more and who’s doing better only detracts from the work.

Sure we do. We even have a word for it… well, words, really. Positive reinforcement.

Maybe I’m crazy or something but when I hear about a 22 year old that’s putting her life in danger(their boat was already attacked by drones and it wasn’t even near Gaza yet) or sleeping outside of some building or spending most of her time protesting for some cause or another, I don’t hear “spoiled” or “influencer” or anything of that sort. Because I happen to work in an industry where there’s tons of those people. And believe me, spoiled 22 year olds are having fun in clubs and in fancy hotels. Compare Greta’s Instagram with that of any other famous people. Or just search “Greta car” or “hotel” or “restaurant” or try to find any paparazzi pic of her doing anything fun, cause I couldn’t find any.

Maybe she’s not treating kids with lost limbs, but she’s only 22, where was this doctor when they were 22, do you think? Safe in school, I imagine… And Greta’s been doing this for 7 years already. I don’t understand how this doesn’t sound insane to you people. There’s 30 year olds out there with shorter resumes.

And in the end all that doesn’t even matter. What matters is that she’s trying to do something positive, right? And despite that, there’s always people complaining and moaning. Because it’s never enough for you people. And you always give other people as better examples. And it’s never another kid, is it? I’d like one of you to show me a 22 year old that has done more for the world. The closest I could find is Param Jaggi and his algae mobile…but 15 years later the thing seems to be stuck in the promising invention phase.

Dunno, feels like people are letting perfect get in the way of good. What’s the point of bringing down people doing good things? Do better or let them do their thing, doesn’t cost you anything to do the latter, does it?

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize only activism in person works. My bad. Oh, wait… she does that too… anyway, I’m done with you, I suggest your seek help, it can’t possibly be healthy to need to put others down to feel better about yourself. And you think I’m the angry one, hahaha, funny.

Haha. Jesus, the amount of people in these threads that NEED to believe that she’s useless and a bad person is insane. Whatever lets you sleep at night, I guess.

There isn’t one? Are you joking? What is This then? 1.2 million donated by the foundation as of 2022. Money from awards, prizes and donations. That’s nothing, right?

What about This one? Which claims “started in 2018, when 15-year old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate.” They gathered millions of people for strikes and they name her as inspiration. But that’s nothing as well, right?

Man, if only everyone in the world was as useless as Greta…
