I appreciate what Ms. Thunberg does and says. She's my moral barometer.

No single person should be your moral barometer.

Stanning is bad.

(I also appreciate everything I've heard of Greta Thunberg saying and doing.)

Truth.

In the kind words of Immortal Technique, and I quote...;

"I'm just a man, don't follow me nigga."

I'm sure Greta says the same in other words. ...or maybe even the same words if she's around her close group of friends...

I can appreciate if you agree with many of the things that she says, but you really ought to be cautious when a child (as she was when she became popular) becomes such a media darling.

because she's Illuminati, right?

Because when the media becomes fixated upon a child like that, they're likely being exploited. Doubly so with the children of celebrities as Greta is.

Oh no a young woman famous for climate activism said something. Bust out your pitchforks, chuds.

Anybody else a bit concerned that Greta seems to be doing the Benjamin Button thing?
