🔥Greta Thunberg meets with DEM Party co-mayor of Amed, North Kurdistan

Yesterday, climate justice activist Greta Thunberg, known for spearheading the Fridays4Future ecological youth movement, met with Serra Bucak co-mayor for the DEM Party on the city of Amed in North Kurdistan. During the meeting, views on the impact of climate change and global warming on nature were exchanged.

In recent years, Greta Thunberg has combined her ecological activism with the defence of the rights of oppressed peoples, such as Palestinians, Armenians and Kurds. This has cost her the support of most of mainstream media and political institutions, but despite that the young Swedish activist continues her struggle unabated.

Gotta tell you, I didn't think Greta would meet with the Apoists. I knew she is very cool, but now she's more left libertarian than I thought.
- It's clear that she when through a process of extreme disapointment with political leaders ("bla, bla, bla"), and Anarchism is really the next logical step. Besides the fact that she probably met a lot of Anarchists on the more direct action focussed climate protests she is attending lately.
  
  I like the sound of that.
  
  I don't bother to put too much faith in individual movement leaders, but I do appreciate ones who seem to have foresight and a commitment to some purpose beyond their own career. She seems like she's doing good work.
