All this faux concern is ******* ridiculous. You are not someone I have ever seen express any care for anyone ever, yet poor Greta being manipulated, right?
Leave it off mate

Is she going to sail her boat back across the ocean or was it a one way trip?
Cringeworthy speach for sure but sad to see children being blatantly manipulated (bear in mind she suffers from a host of conditions from aspergers syndrome and ADHD amongst others). What gets my backup is when mainstream media laps it all up and doesn't question anything she is saying.

I don't think she's being manipulated, other than having her sense of self-importance inflated by her handlers.
She's a child tho. In the same way I dislike having children give their opinions on the so-called "news" programmes, I'm equally unmoved by what children think of, well, anything.
As a poster above said, her recent episode was nothing more really than a televised tantrum.
Ultimately she will have almost zero effect on anything, much like the schoolchildren being encouraged to ditch school and instead gather on the sides of roads to shout (and giggle) their way through a couple hours of "street protests".
Plenty of drivers will beep their horns and the children will whoop and giggle and prance about. And their teachers/parents will no doubt assure them that they are "making their voices heard" or some such.
Again, the net effect of this will be zero or close to zero. Policymakers won't lose any sleep about what Greta is saying. Their associates in big industry will be calling the shots.
Here, have another

Well replicate the circumstances, any kid could.
She hasn't personally achieved anything. Weird that you think so. Yes, she is being used as a figure head, Joan of arc style. She is so utterly privileged its enabled her to be used like this.
I don't have to care about someone to know they're very clearly being used. Stop being naive.

The whole episode sort of reminds me of those American beauty pageant things where parents make their young daughters dress up in highly inappropriate attire.

I believe the children are our future. We just need to teach them well and let them lead the way.

Ahhh was wondering when you would pop up with your usual rubbish about how this stirs up anti trump sentiment lol.
Did you manage to escape your basement with your tin foil hat??
I'm guess I am just getting bored of people finding things to be outraged about. The ire being directed at an autistic teenager is just plain weird.
