Putting on an act: Greta Thunberg and the cult of actors
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2023 | Rajan Laad

Left-wing activists who pull stunts for cameras are basically acting out.

When Shakespeare wrote ‘All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; And one man in his time plays many parts’, he meant it as a metaphor for human behavior.

Little did the Bard know that someday actors would play parts on the global stage and reap fame and copious pecuniary gains from the performance.

Enter the world’s most famous hooky player and ‘climate activist,’ Greta Thunberg. She is known all over the world for her infamous scowl and the permanence of her petulance.

She rose to ‘superstardom’ with her ‘How Dare You Speech?’ at the UN where she accused world leaders of stealing her dreams and her childhood by neglecting climate change which she claimed had brought the world to the brink of destruction.

Thunberg became the brand ambassador for climate change, winning fans such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, who called Thunberg his hero.

The story goes that Thunberg heard of climate change when she was merely eight and could not understand why so little was being done about it. The situation made her depressed and consequently, by 11, she stopped talking and eating much, losing ten kilos of weight in two months. She was eventually diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD).

What Thunberg needed were their parents to protect her and ensure that she received the necessary healthcare to live a normal life.

But instead, her parents, both of whom are performers, i.e., her mother an opera singer, and her father an actor, decided that Thunberg would herself become a performer, not on stage or in the film, but in real life.

Is it wrong to want to see her get tazed a few times at the next protest?

There’s a reason why no adult with any sense pays the slightest bit of attention to the opinion of a teenaged girl, on any topic of import.

My cat has more intelligence than that twit has. And he’s far more emotionally stable.

Aw, c'mon man! Her arrest was not faked. Can't you see that she was in tears over the trauma of being frog-marched away?

The California storms proved that all the climate change screaming was just that.

Didn’t change a thing with these moros.

It’s a religion with them. No evidence to the contrary will ever change their minds.

They’re all ToonBergs. Nasty little mentally ill children.

She's entirely a media construct. Every since she glowered at Trump a few years back, she's been a media darling and has been made a symbol for far-Left causes.

We need to treat her as the joke that she is. Which is why I made her my "girlfriend" here on Free Repubic and often speak of her as such. Some get it, some don't. That's just my weird sense of humor.

Below is a picture of us on our last camping trip together. Well actually, the photo is from our living room. We pitched a tent in there to stay warm as she had me turn the thermostat way down in the house and it was like 20 degrees inside.

As for why she's so happy with me in this photo is because I had just told her that we were switching from a gas stove to an electric one. This photo was taken just before the power went out in the house, due to the circuit breaker box freezing up.

But we found ways to keep warm.

the latest bit of getting ‘arrested’ while laughing and posing for the cameras did not help her cause at all...

in her delicate aging, ol’ Greta has acquired a momentous visage, known colloquially as resting bitch face!

This is why shops around the world sell pillow squared national flags!

When asked why she didn’t denounce Saudi Arabia for its production of oil and its role in pollution, she could only giggle.

This girl is nothing but a media creation. Think about how this little girl from...where ever got this much media attention. I would love to know the process by which this occurred. I mean, out of a kabillion little girls, this one, with no actual knowledge, is known worldwide. It’s mind boggling.

Just before the fake pandemic hit, drinking straws were in the cross hairs of the greentards. I wonder how she feels about slave labor in the Congo, raping the earth to get lithium or massive dead battery dumps worldwide for all these green vehicles.

Thundberg once said climate deniers need to be ‘’Put to the wall’’. You’re an adult, you know what she was talking about in that statement.

Someone needs to throw this little bitch into a gas chamber and a good number of her ilk with her.

There isn’t anything ‘’cute’’ or endearing in what this malevolent little harpy is doing. She’s evil and needs to be ended.

"Greta's parents are in showbiz, aren't they?"
For interest or amusement, here’s Greta's mother, Malena Ernman in the role of the crazy Prince Orlofsky singing " Chacun a son gout" from Strauss' Fledermaus:

I actually heard a meteorologist on Accuweather say on 19 Jan that California is in a drought, as she was reviewing the reservoirs filling up and the tremendous snowfall.
