Toot link; transcript:

Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she's hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.

Nothing wrong with her. I was just sexist, ageist and a coward.

Saw a woman trying her best to make a change and getting praised for it. Decided she was somehow annoying and didn't deserve all the attention she was getting.

Well, I'm not like I used to be.

It takes genuine courage to confront your own biases and outgrow them, you should be proud

Sick personal growth, dude. Love to see it

Abso-fucking-lutely well said. Kudos to you for having the strength of character to admit your failings and be able to reflect on them. A willingness to say "I was wrong" without throwing a tantrum or doubling down is sorely needed in this world.

Welcome to the Former Bigots Club! Membership perks include randomly cringing at a memory of past convictions, profound sadness when you see other people stuck in that same pit of hatred and occasionally imposter syndrome making you wonder if you're really a good person.
