It was almost as amazing as being terrified by propaganda and believing we were all careening toward immanent death due to things we could easily just stop doing. Nothing quite as conducive to a happy childhood as being terrified and then exploited.OdeToJoy » 18 Dec 2023, 4:43 pm » wrote: ↑ Actually, Greta Thunberg has been the spokesperson for the global children's climate change movement, and represents millions of children world wide who are concerned about climate change.

After what began as a solo protest in Sweden five years ago and grew into a movement with millions of children across the world participating, Greta Thunberg has taken part in her last “school strike” protest as she graduates from school.The protests, which led to many climate activist movements across Europe, the US and Australia, are known as Fridays for Future or School Strike for Climate.
Thunberg tweeted: “Today, I graduate from school, which means I’ll no longer be able to school strike for the climate. This is then the last school strike for me, so I guess I have to write something on this day.
"When I started striking in 2018 I could never have expected that it would lead to anything. After striking every day for three weeks, we were a small group of children who decided to continue doing this every Friday. And we did, which is how Fridays for Future was formed.
“Some more people joined, and quite suddenly this was a global movement growing every day. During 2019, millions of youth striked from school for the climate, flooding the streets in over 180 countries. When the pandemic started, we had to find new ways to protest.
She added: “We who can speak up have a duty to do so. In order to change everything, we need everyone. I’ll continue to protest on Fridays, even though it’s not technically ‘school striking’. We simply have no other option than to do everything we possibly can. The fight has only just begun.”
Thunberg has become a household name known for her climate activism, and has addressed world leaders about the climate emergency at the United Nations’ climate action summit.
In 2019, speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, Thunberg said the growth of the school strike movement was “an amazing feeling”.
When I found out how hard it would truly be to get rid of oil, how many people would have to die in order to make that happen, I though OMG! What a terrible catch 22!
And THEN, when I found out the entire climate scam was made up as part of a power grab - "keep 'em scared, keep 'em stupid," was the way it was told to me, - I was pretty put out.
Thank you for playing along, though. The one thing that helps abused autistic children is when people like you put wind in the sails of the abusers. Loki bless you.
