Make New York Post a Preferred Source Activist Greta Thunberg yucking it up. YouTube/Hubertus Koch Greta Thunberg just gave away what a fraud she’s always been, though her devoted fans may be too drunk on the Kool-Aid to see it.
“Really!” she exclaimed of activists still engaged in the weekly protests that launched her fame — “They still do that?” before dissolving into uncontrolled giggles.
It was always obscene that the climate-armageddon-alarmist movement fetishized a special-needs teen as some kind of morally superior idol when Thunberg launched her “Fridays for the Future” protests in 2018, skipping school to stage a solo sit-in outside the Swedish parliament.
She became the darling of the Just Stop Oil/Extinction Rebellion/Sunrise Movement crowd, hailed for her 2019 refusal to fly across the Atlantic, instead sailing over (with a full crew, which then flew back) to address the UN Climate Summit, snarling, “How dare you?” at the global potentates who’d supposedly “stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.”
Her true tormentors, of course, are the adults who cozened her into this role.
They compared her to Joan of Arc and nominated her for the Nobel Peace Prize; countless activists threw cans of soup on famous paintings and glued their hands to asphalt in her name, imagining President Donald Trump quaking in fear of meeting her Medusa gaze.
But as the cause got baked into economically ruinous energy policies across the West, it began to bore the global-justice crowd, which moved on to Israel-bashing.
And attention-starved Greta scrambled along to a new class of protests, making news only when she joined a “blockade-busting” flotilla and suffered the torture of being flown home with only non-vegan snacks to eat.
Will the sad sacks still performing her old rituals wake up, now that she’s sneered at them?
Guess we’ll see what the useful idiots of the enviro-left do when their idols declare they’ve outlived their usefulness.
