Last week an article from the Federalist Society about Greta Thunberg popped up on my computer. It was by David Harsanyi and titled, The Tragedy of Greta Thunberg.
The following is the first two paragraphs of his article:
Sixteen-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg lives in the healthiest, wealthiest, safest, and most peaceful era humans have ever known. She is one of the luckiest people ever to have lived.
In a just world, Thunberg would be at the United Nations thanking capitalist countries for bequeathing her this remarkable inheritance. Instead, she, like millions of other indoctrinated kids her age, act as if they live in a uniquely broken world on the precipice of disaster. This is a tragedy.
You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, Thunberg lectured the world. And maybe shes right. Weve failed her by raising a generation of pagans whove filled the vacuum left by the absence of faith, not with rationality, but with a cultish worship of Mother Earth and the state.

This socialism is a hybrid of Marxism and a neopagan earth worship with its own saints/deities, eg Thunberg.
It holds sway over a great many western people. A huge number.
Naziism was also a blend of socialism and paganism. Their modern equivalents have gone from blaming the Jews and “inferior” races to hating humanity as a whole.
Ask her what her country did in WWII...Ask her....
Massachusetts has had a large socialist grade school system for almost 200 years.
There are socialist K-12 school systems in every US state.
“[Horace] Mann persuaded his fellow modernizers, especially those in the Whig Party, to legislate tax-supported elementary public education in their states and to feminize the teaching force. Most northern states adopted one version or another of the system he established in Massachusetts, especially the program for “normal schools” to train professional teachers.”

Greta is 16 years old. Greta has not yet graduated from the Swedish equivalent of high school. Greta has no advanced educational training. Greta has no legitimate credentials.
Why does anyone listen to her?
Red Duh Thor-in-our-Side? Aren’t her 15 minutes up PROPAGANDISTS? Last I heard she was on a slow boat to China to lecture them. HOW DARE YOU, PGalt
Dog-faced pony soldier, right Joek?
Very interesting. Thanks of the link. EDUCATION BUMP!
What a fantastic Auschwitz guard she would have made!
They're using her. Like they used Cindy Sheehan (when has she last been in the news?), and like they have and will use anyone who can be useful to their cause.
She is the human connection to the mental illness of the typical liberal. The Nazi like girl is mentally ill,abused and used by her parents and Globalists.
Socialism is the supposed cure for a million different catastrophes. In practice, capitalism/free-markets have been the cure for a million different failed attempts to make socialism work.
Hey, scoldy little girl! Why don’t you just go back to Sweden and enjoy your Muslims?
They’ll `steal your dreams and steal your childhood’ REEEALL fast!
“Naziism was also a blend of socialism and paganism. Their modern equivalents have gone from blaming the Jews and inferior races to hating humanity as a whole.”
Yes. Very much so.
There have been graphics that show how similar Thunberg iconography has been to earlier Nazi iconography.
IIRC, she was declared persona non grata by the LSM when she turned her fake righteous fury on HRC or Pelosi at some point.
Who “stole her dreams and childhood”? She actually said that?
