She (or whoever writes her stuff) wants to put politicians "up against the wall."  Sounds familiar.....

She meant hold them accountable when she said that.  Language differences and all that.

"Du har satt din sista potatis" (you have planted your final potato). Kind of like that?

I have no idea what your sister did with your potatoes.  Personal family issues really shouldn't be posted here on VJ.  Especially if it is your ex sister.  Oh wait...

In the revolution and Communist Russia putting people against the wall was how they held them accountability but it still meant to execute them. Never has that term ever meant as she claimed it does and mean to just put them up against the wall and let's chat about it. If she misspoke then so be it but she still said something reprehensible and shall be judged as she deserved to be.

 

Oh but she may actually be too young to have learned about much history or other concepts but that is saying she is too young to be addressing any important issues or taken seriously.

Let's not make up drama where none exists, eh?  I doubt a teenager is calling for the execution of leaders.

 

The Swedish expession ’att ställa någon mot väggen’ literally translates to ‘put someone against the wall’, but it has no connotations of violence. It is an uncontroversial figure of speech that means to call someone out.

I am not making up drama or really don't care what she spouts as I think she is a young kid being used and having her spout out what the adults tell her to do. She is probably too young to consider the concepts of climate change and make an informed decision on her own.

Oh, I agree, she is definitely a pawn.  I have seen her unscripted talks, and it's sad to realize how she is being used.  Her parents should be ashamed.

 

But I still don't think she was calling for executing anyone.

I yield to you as you are correct and I knew that also but one must introduce how serious it was saying this and we should not base our faiths and such by this child.
