An exasperated Greta Thunberg has scolded “presidents, prime ministers, kings and princesses” she claims only want to burnish their image by being photographed in her presence.
As part of a new series about her campaigning made for Swedish radio during the coronavirus lockdown, Thunberg revealed the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, had waited to have a “selfie” with the teenager at a U.N. climate gathering in New York.
It was in the U.N. she delivered her “how dare you” speech. “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words”, she told the gathered world leaders.
On the radio program, the Guardian reports the teenage climate worrier was critical of the way high-ranking figures had behaved afterwards. She said:
Presidents, prime ministers, kings and princesses came and wanted to talk to me.They saw me and suddenly saw the chance that they could take a photo with me for their Instagram account. Then the hashtag #savetheplanet.
It seemed as if they had forgotten for a moment to be ashamed that their generation had let future generations down.
In follow-up comments made to the BBC, Thunberg, who has more than 4m Twitter followers, said she had a “dislike” for politicians like Merkel who seek to capitalise on her fame by being photographed alongside her.
“To be fair, it was not only her, it was many,” she said, when asked about the situation with Merkel. “And those kinds of things happen all the time. People just want to stand next to me and other climate activists.
“They can post it on social media and it makes them look good, it makes them seem like they care.”

There is a certain honesty in her remarks about how fake politicians are.
When Martin Luther King sprang to fame the politicians all wanted to be around him like John F. Kennedy for the sake of a photo op, then JFK sent the FBI after MLK.
She says something along the lines that the politicians are “emporers with no clothes on” saying the polticians are having a “big nudist party” as far as she is concerned.
I think the politicians are as phony as she says they are, just my list of “issues” is different from hers.
First time I’ve seen Greta’s name associated with a horse.
But your point is well made.
“Useful Idiot” sums up why.
She reminds me of footage of Red Guards denouncing shop keepers and parents.
She is going to be one fugly old crone.
Scoldilocks strikes again.
In our modern world we are witnessing shadows of history repeating. The McMartin Preschool Scandal echoed the Salem Witch trials, thankfully with less lethal repercussions. The recent protests and riots are replays of the Watts, Detroit and other insurrections of the 1960s and also of the Rodney King Riots of 1992. As you accurately pointed out they are attempting a hot Cultural Revolution now. The slow burn has simmered long enough for the revolutionaries.
Lol, that might actually work to deprogram the brainwashed brat!
and these are the words of a spoiled, self centered, arrogant, brat that became a left wing puppet, for an unproven cause.
There is one difference with these riots: they represent angry white Democrats returning to burning down black communities, after nearly a century absence, rather than just radical black idiots burning down their homes.
I doubt it will happen, but it would be nice if black people seeing their communities burn would shoot / kick the crap out of white rioters in particular. Moreover, if they did so with rioters and looters in general then riots and looting would stop.
Indeed, had rioters and looters in the 60s on been shot the Left would be much quieter now.
Yah dat wood be Karin, don’t ya know?
You are correct. I don’t think there could be a better example.
