Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she's hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.

I find her to be annoying, TBH. She still is, but that doesn't mean I cannot give her credit where credit is due.
I think annoying is exactly what we need. A pain in the ass is an effective way to get people to stand up. Many of the most memorable ads are irritating, but at least GT isn't trying to make me download some app or buy overpriced crap.
How is she annoying tho? She's doing what most of us are afraid of doing. It's not even like she's bragging too much. Yeah, she's getting a lot of attention, but since she's using that in the right direction, it's really ok.
One question; why is She getting the majority of the praise ? Where are the others ?
because she's well known? are you saying she's annoying because of how media works?
No, let's say that she's too theatrical & honestly lacks fire (even in her theatrics)
Let's say that you're just jealous of the attention she gets
More like I'm worried that others don't get the same level of attention as her. But sure "I'm Jealous", if it helps you sleep at night.
But hey She triggers the Pro-Genocide cretins & I can give her support just for that.
If that was true, why is she annoying? If you want others to have the same level of attention that means the attention she's getting is ok? So... What makes her annoying?
she has autism
Idk. But I think all of them, including Greta, deserve as much praise as Greta is getting.
Well-behaved women, etc.
