Greta Thunberg is an odd duck. She has been catching some flak for deleting a tweet about 2023, so there is a Newsweek Fact Check of Greta Tweet to defend her. Who cares?
When Greta stopped going to school in 9th grade to protest Climate Change, her protest became international news. That was fishy from the start. Kids protest all sorts of things, but somehow, this mentally fragile girl from Sweden has everyone’s attention. It was clear that people with influence decided to exploit her to further their agenda.
Her neuro-divergence makes her an unpersuasive spokesman for environmental causes. More than anything, she reminds me of a scary German comedian named Brother Theodore. I will post a clip, but watch for this quote. If Greta were more introspective, it could come from her.
I am what you might call a controversial figure. People either hate me or despise me. They would rather shake the devil by the tail than shake me by the hand, but with every failure David, with every failure, my reputation grows. One of these days, you’ll see my picture on every postage stamp. One of these days, I’ll furorize the world.
