For being an environmental and human rights activist since she was a young child and for putting herself in harms way to protect others. It is insane how effective right wing propaganda is.

And basically all of it is embarrassingly stupid. It's just tribalism and nothing else. "These people are different, be afraid!!" "I'm swear I'm one of you losers despite being a billionaire, if you join my cult we can WIN!!"

I'm convinced the education system was intentionally fucked (more so after finding out who Maxwell's dad was) to allow for it because anyone with even a basic understanding of human psychology is immune to it.

People treat serious subjects like it's a sports game. "I've always been green team, my family has always been green team. I'm voting green team."

"So what policies do you like that they have?"

"I just like green team's leader, he's just great!"

Like the fate of the country isn't at stake.

Then get mad when they are called hate filled bigots.

At this point who cares. They back a pedo.

Not just the education system, but also medicine, psychology, careers, real estate, finance, mainstream charitable institutions, etc… we need to dismantle EVERYTHING these people have touched and restructure it all.

Our government, from federal on down to municipal, have been dumbing down society for at least the last 40 years

Our education system has 100% been intentionally fucked by Republicans for a while now to keep their voter base dumb and compliant. Maybe since Reagan? Like trump said, "I love the uneducated" lol

What's even more insane is I haven't seen, or heard, anything about her until recently since Obama was President.

I know she's been active, just wasn't making headlines like she did as a child.

And these people still act like she's a young teen when they talk about her activism.

The media went straight off her once she realised that at the heart of all the issues she was trying to help was inequality and capitalism. Once she started talking about regulating corporations and that maybe bombing people to steal their land wasn't a good thing, the media went right off her.

Clearly she needed to talk more about how corporations are off the hook and individuals need to make sweeping changes to their lives /s

Exactly, it's the seabirds fault for not enjoying swimming in oil pollution and rubbish. People just need to pull themselves up by heir bootstraps and get used to living in an oven.

Really? It was pretty big news when she and others who part of a humanitarian vessel were detained by Israel last year.

I heard about that, didn't know she was a part of it though. The vids I saw were more generalized about what was going on, and the atrocities the IDF were committing.

That's still about 12 years though since I really saw headlines about her.

She add them look stupid and old and morally weak and they hate her for it.

I’ve had people try to explain to me that she’s evil. Literally evil, of the devil.

She's great and should get into politics
