    She’s been given stages and microphones and interviews. You think boat rides into Gaza are free? She is given the opportunity to do more, she isn’t inherently better.

    Also, many US States haven’t reported how many of which age groups voted, it’s difficult to find any data on the subject compared to who they voted for and other demographic labels like ethnicity or gender. There are some claims that 18 to 29yo were 47% voter turnout but only a fraction of those are considered millennial and voter turnout increases with degree level. And Greta Thunberg isn’t from the US, she is from Sweden.

      Yes, because she established herself as an outstanding activist. You act like she stumbled across a “famous activist” position on LinkedIn and has been half-assing it the whole time which is an absurd characterization of what she has done with her life.

      Nobody is saying she “better” than you or your activist buddies, but she deserves a bit more respect for what she has accomplished than “bottom 20% of activists”
