    I’m all for Greta Thunberg, she’s doing more with nothing than most politicians who have everything.

    These authorities don’t know how to stop a protest. If they just stop arresting her and giving her a headline, we’d never know about what she is doing.

    Every time they arrest her, she gains the publicity she needs.

    We should all be ashamed, … I am whenever I’m reminded of her work … a young woman is fighting against a monolith because she knows what’s going to happen to billions of people in the future … while we all sit quietly hoping all these problems just go away on their own.

      It’s been really interesting watching Greta grow up - like in the teenager to adult sense. When she was younger you could see that kind of passionate idealism that you have when you’re young (I don’t think it’s a bad thing, the way society crushes this in young people is the bad thing). But now she just has this very profound smirk on her face everytime she’s arrested. It’s not a happy smirk but more of a ‘yep this shit again’ smirk. I think it’s a testament to her authenticity and commitment to calling out bullshit. As an autistic person Greta is also an amazing inspiration to me because sometimes people who can tell it like it is are an absolute asset to our society.

      I wonder what her international arrest record is now.
