“Climate activist Greta Thunberg joined student protesters in France on Tuesday after weeks of violent confrontations with police, thousands of arrests and widespread school closures over demands for education reform. The 23-year-old Swedish activist appeared outside a high school in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, where students were demanding more teachers, better facilities and shorter school days, Reuters reported.”

If Greta is there it must be revolution time. Can one hope that a stray rubber bullet from the Police finds its mark?

I remember when the students protested at the Capitol Building in Washington on Jan 6, 2021

Someone arrest her and keep her in jail for several years. Enough of “greta”.

Nothing to do with ‘student protests’. She has the palestinian shawl on.

Some people will do anything to keep from having to actually work for a living.

Just when I thought my (already low) opinion of Greta could not get any lower....

Can’t help but wonder if she is burning EVs too?

Sometimes I think The Bad Swede is trying to turn herself into the Millennial version of Emma Goldman. Problem is that unlike the Doom Goblin, Ms. Goldman had some actual work-skills prior to her career in activism. Ms. Goldman trained and worked as a nurse. Greta, however, has done nothing, achieved nothing, and seems to have never developed any skills beyond refining her toddler tantrums, whilst reading from carefully-prepared scripts.

Yeah, she would be a martyr for the cause, just like Horst Wessel...

She’s become the communist version of an Ambulance Chaser.

I clicked through to see if there were any pictures. Something about the photos seemed odd.

Then it hit me. Greta is quite tiny.

The DuckDuckGo AI Search Assistant reply to “how tall is Greta Thunberg?” came back with the following:

“Greta Thunberg is 4 feet, 11 inches tall.”

She is 23 years old so she isn’t getting any taller.

They say AI and AI robotics is going to replace many jobs.

AI robotics will certainly be able to perform the role of professionally paid protesters/rioters and replace those non-jobs as well. Heck they could build them to look like Greta.
