  1. The best thing she ever did is causing so many people to be really butthurt. I guess that counts as terrorism. Kudos.

  2. Someone thought this law was put there to actually fight terrorism. Just like people think hate speech laws are there to fight hate…

  5. This woman gets more hate and persecution than Elon, Trump and MBS combined. She fights against big oil and for climate preservation, creates a disruption to bring attention to things cos she doesn’t have the money to buy Cambridge Analytica and Twitter to spread her agenda. The only difference is her agenda isn’t driven by personal gain and she is an easier target cos women are easier to hate.

  6. Mad respect for Greta. She could have chosen an easy life of speaking at WEF/corporate events and collecting money. She is choosing the idealistic & hard way.

  7. How did she went from climate change advocate to Palestine freedom fighter? What did I miss?

  8. Why is this news? She’s probably been released already

  9. Those people broke into a military base, attacked a security guard with a sledgehammer giving them serious injuries and are led by a man who celebrated the October 7th attacks. Palestine Action also has links to Russia.

  10. Genuine question. How does she earn money? Does she have a job?

  11. >Palestine Action

    These are the idiots that vandalized RAF Brize Norton. Not really a group worth supporting, but I guess it’s the easiest way to make headlines with the word Palestine in it.

  13. Meanwhile a war criminal with arrest warrant runs Israel. Fuck this timeline we live in.

  14. Did she ever tried to do anything to bring attention to end the genocide of black Africans in Darfur committed by the Arab supremacist RSF? Or went to any place in the world that is not Western and protested the environmentally destructive actions committed there by those states?

  16. From [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action🙂

    “Palestine Action have mounted 45 documented direct actions in the United Kingdom.[^([11])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action?utm_source=chatgpt.com#cite_note-cagereport-12) Key targets have been British factories of Israeli weapons manufacturer [Elbit Systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbit_Systems) and [RAF Brize Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Brize_Norton) base. In their campaigns, Palestine Action have used protest, [occupation of premises](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_(protest)), [**destruction of property**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_property), and **vandalism**, which sometimes resulted in its members being arrested. A [protest action on 6 August 2024](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Filton_Elbit_Systems_break-in) resulted in a charge of [**grievous bodily harm**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grievous_bodily_harm) **after an activist allegedly struck a police officer with a sledgehammer**,[^([12])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action?utm_source=chatgpt.com#cite_note-13) and a protest on 16 March 2025 resulted in three activists being charged with one count each of assault by beating.[^([13])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action?utm_source=chatgpt.com#cite_note-BBC250317-14) The British government proscribed Palestine Action as a [terrorist group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_groups) on 5 July 2025 under the UK’s [Terrorism Act 2000](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_Act_2000) after members of the network vandalised [Royal Air Force](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Air_Force) aircraft at [Brize Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Brize_Norton).[^([14])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_Action?utm_source=chatgpt.com#cite_note-15)^(“)

    Thunberg associated with a UK designated terrorist organization and was arrested.

  17. Such a ridiculous law, in fact UK is ridiculous country all together.

  19. i don’t agree with her ideologies but i have mad respect for her.

    compare to phony ass fake lefties, she actually walk the talk 

  20. It’s nice having rich parents and not concerned with bills and groceries

  21. In the UK you’re arrested for terrorism when you hold up a flag protesting a genocide

  22. That’s because the whole UK is dumb and authoritarian. It’s not a personal attack at Greta, as people here say, but an attack on Palestine supporters. People with swastika tattoos aren’t as persecuted as anyone who even mentions support for Palestine over there in UK.

  26. Some context for Palestine Action

    >Palestine Action was banned after an incident at RAF Brize Norton in June where its members damaged two military planes. After that, several activists were formally charged.

    Pretty much deserved

  28. Why is she even allowed to travel to other countries nowadays?
    I mean, she will probably make a fuss everywhere she goes??

  29. What I’ve realized recently is that many countries that describe themselves as democratic behave far less differently from authoritarian states than they like to admit — especially when their control over information is challenged.

    Take Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram. Russia targeted him after he refused to give the government access to user data and encryption keys. He left the country as a result. Years later, France pursued him as well, citing Telegram’s alleged failure to cooperate with law enforcement. While the legal justifications differ, the underlying conflict is similar: a government pressuring a platform to weaken privacy or increase state access to communications.

    Julian Assange is another example. He published classified information exposing U.S. war conduct and government behavior — activity that major newspapers routinely engage in. Yet the U.S. charged him under the Espionage Act, a law that makes no distinction between journalism and spying and offers no public-interest defense. Press freedom organizations objected not because Assange was flawless, but because prosecuting a publisher for obtaining and publishing truthful information sets a dangerous precedent.

    The pattern is clear: when transparency, encryption, or disclosure collide with state power, even democratic governments often respond with coercion rather than restraint. The difference between democracies and authoritarian regimes is no longer whether they try to control information — but how openly, and with what legal justifications.

  31. Ill always keep this in mind for Greta.

    Despite her claims for climate change she has completely neglected to either comment on or talk about India and China two of the largest climate abusers.

    In fact should even both USA, Europe become completely climate neutral it will do nothing to lower a global increase in temperature without china and india following suit.

    Greta in recent years has become nothing but a propaganda piece for whomever funds her adventures. Her support of a group not only proven to have violently attacked police officers while breaking into property but the same group that is funded by russian interests whom has somehow managed to only attack facilities delivering weapons to ukraine is a complete red flag.

  32. Big strong men in governments afraid of a little girl.

    Fuck off you cowards.

    Stop the genocide.

  33. I wish she would protest for Ukraine, just once. She won’t though.
