    He organized a movement of millions that got results. This lack of organizing is why we haven’t seen the successes of the civil rights movement on most issues other than LGBT marriage.

    Its sad that people are so into performative actions that they forget about results,

      Greta is organizing more people than MLK did. The lack of results is not her fault, but the fault of the people whom we have elected to implement policy for us (for the most part).

        Really, what is the name of her organization? Why haven’t they been able to organize millions like MLK did in a way that is effective and actually something that happened?

        You can be a fanchild of her if you want but claiming she organized more people than MLK is simply not factually accurate.

          What was the name of MLK’s organization?

          She has organized millions.

          You missed this part

          …fault of the people whom we have elected to implement policy for us (for the most part).

          MLK didn’t write laws, he didn’t sign bills, he didn’t judge the constitutionally of existing legislation, he mobilized people.

          Go look at headlines and editorials from the civil rights era, because you are punching down on Greta trying to stand up for us the same way they punched down on MLK.

            No, Im holding her up to those standards. The Civil Rights Movement actually mobilized people to the point where the state cracked down on it. She’s more like Occupy Wall St in that it is more performative and has less organization on the ground.
