Putting on an act: Greta Thunberg and the cult of actors
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2023 | Rajan Laad

Left-wing activists who pull stunts for cameras are basically acting out.

When Shakespeare wrote ‘All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; And one man in his time plays many parts’, he meant it as a metaphor for human behavior.

Little did the Bard know that someday actors would play parts on the global stage and reap fame and copious pecuniary gains from the performance.

Enter the world’s most famous hooky player and ‘climate activist,’ Greta Thunberg. She is known all over the world for her infamous scowl and the permanence of her petulance.

She rose to ‘superstardom’ with her ‘How Dare You Speech?’ at the UN where she accused world leaders of stealing her dreams and her childhood by neglecting climate change which she claimed had brought the world to the brink of destruction.

Thunberg became the brand ambassador for climate change, winning fans such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, who called Thunberg his hero.

The story goes that Thunberg heard of climate change when she was merely eight and could not understand why so little was being done about it. The situation made her depressed and consequently, by 11, she stopped talking and eating much, losing ten kilos of weight in two months. She was eventually diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).

What Thunberg needed were their parents to protect her and ensure that she received the necessary healthcare to live a normal life.

But instead, her parents, both of whom are performers, i.e., her mother an opera singer, and her father an actor, decided that Thunberg would herself become a performer, not on stage or in the film, but in real life.

As some wise person once wrote: “Virtue” is just vanity all dressed up and waiting for applause.

Her mother is a singer & her father is a sort-of producer.

Greta is distantly related to Svante Arrhenius.

In 1902, Svante Arrhenius put forth a theory that scientists have been building and expanding ever since
