Greta Thunberg’s dad worries about ‘all the hate’ aimed at her

Greta Thunberg’s father said in a new interview that the 16-year-old climate activist from Sweden has become much happier after taking up the environmental cause — but that he worries about all the “hate” she faces.

Actor-turned-producer Svante Thunberg, 50, told the BBC that he and Greta’s mom, opera singer Malena Ernman, at first objected to their shy daughter becoming an eco-warrior.

“Obviously, we thought it was a bad idea, putting herself out there with all the hate on social media,” he said about Greta, who was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome — a form of autism — at age 12.

Anyone else see season 5 “The Killjoys”?

Greta is a dead ringer for the hyper villian “The Lady” and even has similar temper tantrums.

It’s not hate. It’s scorn.

Big difference.

Who hates her?

I don’t.

I hope she has a great acting career.

Yeah, speaking of hate, who said “Up against the wall...” like a Nazi?

Greta's mom wrote a book, Scenes from the Heart, in which Greta's episodic depression, panic attacks, autism, OCD, and life-threatening anorexia are all detailed. (So much for the medical privacy rights of minor children.) I *fear* as soon as Greta is no longer useful, she'll be dropped or perhaps persuaded by the fanatics that only her suicide would move the world.

Meanwhile, however, Greta's being used as a human shield: a child subject to life-threatening panic attacks, being pushed into high-stress venues because she can make political demands with neither personal nor political accountability. She's unhappy: "Oh. OK, let's hand over global governance to her sponsors."

Those who want to engage public issues should engage in public debate. I will not go for planetary governance advice though, to an emotionally tormented adolescent girl who knows -0- about geophysics, meta-economics, global politics or world history, and who represents the policy preferences of Davos.

He's right. She's just some teenager with developmental issues. My contempt is aimed at him - he's allowed his child to become a neurotic tool for environmentalist cultists who couldn't care less about her as long as they can use her for propaganda.

First of all, diagnosing a child with Asperger’s at the age of 12 should be done very, very carefully. There are a lot of things that can affect a child's non-verbal communication skills and social awareness. That said, she's an adolescent, and it seems likely to me that her parents encouraged her stepping onto the world stage.

Totally agree.

I didn’t observe Asperger’s Syndrome in her. I did observe a lot of anger. Asberger’s Syndrome is usually noticeable pre school and is much less frequent in girls than boys as it is a super masculine consciousness with minimal ability to process emotions.

Asperger’s Syndrome children usually turn their head to the left when speaking to someone to restrict optic nerve input to the left logical hemisphere.

Greta turns her head to the right and experiences and expresses anger from right brain. She is psychologically disconnected from a wounded emotional child, but NOT Asperger’s.

Sorry, my spell check was changing spelling on earlier post.
