    Greta Thunberg is a once in a generation example of courage and dedication. One of the coolest people currently alive and I feel like she’ll be remembered in history in a semi-mythological way like with MLK Jr or Mandela. And by that I mean she’ll be both lauded and distorted equally but that’s just how it goes.

      I love Greta and she’ll go in history books but this is too much. There’s many Greta’s out there, the reason why she became famous is because she had a famous mom who knew how to get Greta tons of media attention and connect her with other important people, and provided for Greta while she became a full time activist. Genuinely I can name so many people with her dedication and courage who don’t have the influence and fame Greta has because they struggle to stay afloat while combining work and organizing or activism. People who were activists during high school like Greta.

      In Palestine alone there are probably thousands of Greta’s.
