Another look at Greta Thunberg (PBN)
When Greta Thunberg becomes an international model, then the world will go vegan.
Swedish, being what it is, misleads our pronunciation. Greta's surname is Toonberg, and singer Tov Lo is actually Too-vuh-loo. English is very flexible around the world.
Greta is the autistic, Swedish, blonde 16-year-old (now 21) getting arrested to protest climate change because the mainstream media (MSM) portrays her as a self-contradictory nut.
The MSM never mentions Greta's an ethical vegan (someone who avoids eating flesh and animal products to save the world and all the beings in it), which is the best thing one can personally do to save our world, preserve human health, and alleviate animal suffering.
Greta may show more angry emotions on her face than other nonautistic people in the spotlight. But she's right.
Yes, this Swedish climate activist is a citizen of the world. And she is being used and co-opted as a role model for worldwide environmental activism that often undermines her message and makes sure nothing fundamentally changes unless it profits the powers-that-be (Big Oil, transnational corporations, world capitalists eager to set up a pollution credit market to milk money out of degrading our environment while letting corporations off the hook for polluting the planet).
Thunberg has something to say but we'll almost never hear it. Instead, we get the twisted message that benefits the status quo. Go vegan. Eat plant-based for flavor, animal kindness, and human health and longevity. (Do it right or many of the benefits will not be realized; it's not just what we don't eat but what we take in in its place).
Greta grabs attention, rallies support for Gaia (W)
