Comment on Outrage after Greta Thunberg arrested at London oil summit protest

I know it’s not.
But when Greta shows up, it’s all about her and not the protest anymore.

It really is not. This is exactly how big companies want you to see things. Divide and conquer is a powerful tool used in many areas. My opinion is that the people of the west should be looking to change the grip fossil fuels has on our economy.

Nah, it’s just media doing what media does.
Celebrities generate more clicks. That’s all.
I have no doubt Greta thinks she’s helping by continuously trying to martyr herself.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about going as green as possible. I just don’t see her shenanigans as helpful.

Well that’s because, as you damn fine demonstrated right in this thread here, you are dumb as fuck.

It probably wouldn’t have been reported or shared at all, if she wasn’t there.

Probably not. And that’s an issue in and of itself.
