Best medication against anger and anxiety is to take action yourself' – Thunberg
Guarniad-p-uk-e rag ^ | 22/4/21 | Joanna Walters

Posted on 04/22/2021 4:26:34 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Greta Thunberg more or less had the last word at the congressional environmental hearing - at least the last meaningful word.

California Democratic congresswoman Katie Porter asked the Swedish activist what she should tell her nine-year-old daughter who comes to her fretting that “Earth is on fire and we’re all going to die soon”?

That’s like Throwback Thursday for Boomers who grew up amid the Cold War and US-USSR nuclear missile arms race, watching as the adults in charge willfully hurtled towards imminent catastrophe...

So Thunberg finished the Earth Day hearing with another strand to her admonish-hope-galvanize proverbial lifeline for the grown ups.

“I know that there are many young people who feel angry and sad because of all the things that some people are doing to to this planet.

“That’s very understandable. It would be strange if we didn’t feel that way, because then we wouldn’t have any empathy.. And if we choose to take action.. there’s unlimited things that we can do.. There are no limits to what we can accomplish.

“And of all ways, the best medication against anger and anxiety is to take action yourself. So that’s what I would tell her - to take action herself because that will make her feel so much better.”

If you don't feel good, don't take your meds. Do something. Even if it's stupid. How meaningful./s

She does, she has been fed propaganda and brainwashed, and also been given a savior complex.

When I see her, the word exploitation always comes to mind.

She’s a clueless tool.

Greta, I strongly recommend learning something about the issue you seem to so fervently obsess on. That might help quite a bit.

Short of this, you should consider changing your name to “Regreta”
