Smug 'Doom Pixie' Greta Thunberg Prepping 'Selfie Yacht 2.0'
2025-08-14
By Ward Clark

[RedState] With some people, as my late grandfather used to say, "you can teach 'em, but you can't learn 'em." One such is Sweden's embarrassment, the Doom Pixie, Greta Thunberg. Remember her ill-fated mission to take aid to Gaza, aboard what wags called the "Selfie Yacht?" Remember that this excursion ended up with her caught, deported, and put on a carbon-spewing airliner home - in the cheap seats. The "aid" delivered would have fed a dozen people, at the most.

Well, she's trying it again, with "Selfie Yacht 2.0."
Insanity: Repeating the same thing with the expectation of a different outcome.

Greta Thunberg’s recent ‘Palestinian rescue mission’ was a total failure, carrying a tiny amount of supplies—enough, said some commentators, for “maybe a dozen people”—and resulting in her deportation from Israel.So she’s going to do it all over again!

This time, the Swedish activist, best known for her green zealotry, is planning on heading from Spain to Gaza with “dozens of boats,” with the overall intention of “break[ing] the illegal Israeli siege.”

Meanwhile, citizens across the world have been asked to participate in “encampments and demonstrations that will happen simultaneously.”

The initiative has been dubbed the ‘Global Sumud Flotilla’ and will supposedly include activists from more than 40 countries.

Others have dubbed it as yet another attempt to cover Thunberg with publicity.

#5  Yachts are expensive. Somebody has to be funding this girl. Now that USAID has been shut down I wonder who. Does the EU have an organization similar to USAID?

#2  to her it's mediterranean cruise with all expenses paid.

Not to mention all the attention and publicity. Plus the endorphin rush from all that virtue signalling. Insanity, hell! This is living the dream. Unless we are talking about meaningful, real-world results...
