That’s a Wrap for Greta Thunberg
NRO ^ | 5 June 2025 | Jeffrey Blehar

Posted on 06/05/2025 7:06:22 PM PDT by Rummyfan

A brief note on everybody’s least favorite hectoring eco-scold: I regret to inform you that Greta Thunberg is in the news again. It barely matters why, really — more nonsense about Gaza and “genocide.” We’ll get to that in a moment, but that’s not really why we’re here.

...

It must have been an amazing high for Thunberg to be the center of so much adulation. I suspect this because she has been chasing that high ever since, long after the media gaze moved on. In the Biden era, the media were no longer interested in highlighting the urgency of youth apocalypticism. (That was more important to emphasize when Trump was president.) And so the spotlight vanished.

Hungering for continued relevance, Thunberg responded by escalating her tactics, seeking arrest at anti-mining and anti-oil protests across Europe to garner headlines. But the media reaction was tepid, and the thrill was gone. It surprised me not the slightest bit when she instantly transitioned from environmental activism (old and busted) to pro-Palestinian activism (new and sexy with the kids these days) in the wake of the October 7 massacre. A year later, she was performatively arresting herself on podcast appearances to signal her solidarity with Hamas.

And now, apparently, she’s on a boat as part of an activist flotilla headed towards Gaza for . . . no particular reason, really. They claim they’re carrying relief supplies to “lift the siege of Gaza,” but that’s obvious pretext for what is transparently a low-stakes international publicity stunt. Israel will almost certainly seize Thunberg’s boat and interdict the rest of “Freedom Flotilla” before it reaches land. Those aboard will assuredly have their iPhones out to film the affair. Slogans will be shouted, clips will be posted....

Buy a vowel. Couple of suitable choices! 😊

Was there ever such a show-boating crusading numpty as this one?

Numpty?! New word. I like it.

Greta is the posterchild for Repeal the 19th. And she doesn’t even live here.

Greta’s carbon footprint is wide and getting wider. She’s still trying to make herself relevant. She’s fraud. How dare she!

Somebody referred to her as a “Doom Goblin”. I rather like the term.

What a dimwit. This is what you get, ladies, when you drink while pregnant.

“It’s telling that while Thunberg has remained in a sulking adolescent bubble – at 22 rather resembling the character Rik from The Young Ones – her country is finally changing.”

Yikes

The GOP performance, thus far, leads me to believe Greta may be the first non-male President as a leader of the American Communist Party (which many panty-waists still refer to as the Democrat Party)...

She is the Joe Biden of activists. Has no idea where she is or what she is doing. Her handlers take care of it all.

I won’t bash Greta.

Her parents, however, are filth. So are the retinue her despicable parents hired to monetize Greta's environmentalism - and now terrorism advocacy - while using this ill child as a human shield.

It is well-documented that Greta is on the autism spectrum and suffers from ADHD. She was suffering from depression as well. Greta, while searching for meaning in life, picked up on this green nonsense.

Her parents, rather than setting her straight - or since they’re leftists, at least protecting her - quickly pushed their minor into the limelight. This is neglectful, but hey the cash started to tumble in, and the parents' child was a comfy human shield.

Sure, she's reached the age of majority. But what you see in the media is disabled child abuse. Behold, the Grand Prize winners for narcissistic parents...

I mentioned the above on one of her on-the-ship videos. As she was babbling on the deck of the ship, in the background there was the unmistakable, loud sound of the boat's engine(s).

What's next? Hydrocarbons for Gaza?

Burning A LOT of hydrocarbons is okay as long as you hate Jews?

Would be a shame if she was taken hostage.
