As I’ve mentioned many times now, the Greta Thunberg thing makes me wildly uncomfortable.
I don’t want to mock her, or laugh at her expense. In fact, I find her entire situation heartbreaking. Here is a girl with aspergers, whose condition makes her laser-focused on issues she finds important. In this case, it’s “climate change.” Her condition does not allow her to be flexible in her understanding, or gather that things may be overblown or exaggerated for political gain. She TRULY believes we’re all about to die – and she’s TERRIFIED.
Her parents, her handlers, whoever you want to blame, now trot her out like a panic-striken show pony to put what amounts to a massive panic attack on display.
It’s sickening – but SHE is not who I’m sickened by. She’s a victim in this situation.
To prove JUST how “managed” she is – here’s what Greta sounds like when she’s off script:
“I think maybe you should give some questions to the others as well.”
WOW. PASSIONATE.
You’re trying to tell me there’s no one else behind this?
I have a hard time believing this.
