I imagine that Greta must be really difficult to get along with. Her sense of importance, her grandiose view of herself, must distance her, and even ridicule her, in the eyes of her contemporaries (that is other sixteen-year-olds).
Sure, she has been abducted by nefarious and evil adults, who will toss a child to Moloch's grasping octopus arms. But she also set the stage.
People are often too ready to excuse children.
By age seven or eight, there is already an established sense of right and wrong, even in children who were raised otherwise.
God's word, God's message, is an intuitive message. Right and Wrong are certainly culturally learned, but they are also innate to all human beings, and I believe as young as seven, and even younger.
Ask a child if he has lied, and he will go through a whole convoluted theatrics of "No! He hasn't!" with the incriminating evidence right beside him. It may be the degree of sophistication that is different between adults and children, but not the knowledge itself.
So, Greta, now no longer the eleven-year-old child who "started" this movement but a young sixteen-year-old woman, may be surrounded by hordes of malevolent adult allies, but she alone comes up with the Truth herself.
Her "climate change" message has NOT resonated with the political and cultural elite. Television shows are mocking her, and she is under no "youth" protection to NOT be mocked, having put herself in that limelight.
And even the Nobel Prize which she lost, and which I think digs much deeper than she lets on, is better off without her. And perhaps her continued perseverance, her insistence, was spiked by this loss. "The World Hates Me And Here's The Proof."
The Nobel Prize for Peace winner, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, has been thankfully removed from the spotlight because of this narcissistic young woman and her entourage, and he can continue the serious matter of leading his country removed from the malevolent eyes of the Western world, whose communist/liberal leaders would sabotage his Meddemer movement if they weren't so skillfully distracted by this new "religious" icon.
Do not be afraid to critique, and to criticize, "young" children. The normal step would be of course to remove them and put them in the proverbial corner, or mete out some other appropriate punishment.
But in our Brave New World, shine the light on Greta's narcissistic needs and let her lead those marches, allow her to speak in her disjointed language, permit her to proclaim rude messages to world leaders.
Meanwhile, an important revolution is happening at the other end of the world, which Greta in her arrogance has dismissed. After all, who cares about Africa when there are real global climate issues to contend with.
This, as usual, is the disguised racist stance of Western countries, mostly liberals, who will tag on religiously to a fraudulent icon while dismissing the lives and hopes, and dreams of change of a country far away in the dark continent of Africa.
Greta is cleverer than you think, and she is out to get what she wants. We are not quite sure what that is...yet.
