It sucks that Greta gets so much attention. The right uses her as a kind of straw man of climate change. She's so dislikable.
What makes her dislikable?
She's everything conservatives are not - young, intelligent, educated and principled.
Imagine your average facebook-posting climate-denier. Do you think Greta is the right messenger to reach them ?
Far-right herself? Nah, not really, but still sad she is a standard neo-lib with reactionary tendencies.
This is exactly what I mean. Merely mention her name and everyone starts frothing at the mouth. Her message is completely lost.
Nah, the only ones frothing at the mouth are Greta and her autist followers.
You must really love the uber-dictator Putler.
I didn't say I was against it being taught. I just want balance with other things. You can't just teach the Howard Zinn version of history and get away with it.
