Following the Greta Thunberg path to fame is an Australian boy who gained notoriety for fuming about “narrow-minded” politicians. While the pair’s excesses can be attributed to their youth, the behavior of the shallow adults insisting the two are prophets who must be listened to cannot be excused. The proper response to these “grownups” behaving as high schoolers is harsh ridicule.
The world can’t help but know about Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish scold who seems to have dropped out of school to travel the world and impudently lecture her elders about how they have let her down. Though this girl knows nothing about climate other than it exists around her, and less about the world, adults nod in agreement as she rants, hand her multiple honors and awards, and have sworn they have been inspired as well as properly chastised by her. She was even considered last month as “the one to beat” for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was eventually given to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for putting an end to his country’s decades-long conflict with Eritrea.

How Dare You!
Sheeeeeeeee’s grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreta!

I know it’s true and we’re there already, but this makes me want to cry. Thanks for the quotation.

Youth activism is key to the progression of society

“The Rough Diamond, the Consumptive Whore, the bandit who is good to his mother, the epileptic girl who has a way with animals will be the heroes and heroines of the New Age, when the general, the statesman, and the philosopher have become the butt of every farce and satire.”
Yes, we are in a state of compassion run amok. Pity has replaced excellence as the top virtue.
His “ FOR THE TIME BEING A Christmas Oratorio”, and is but a small part of it.
Any moment of internet space given to these juvies, is time well lost.
Greta has a good hustle. No way she gives it up except to take on another one if this hustle fades. Twelve years from now when the world is still pretty much like it is without massive disasters predicted by the climate cultists Greta will still be playing.
How Dare You!
Truly Profound!
