listen i love greta thunberg i really do like what an icon BUT i think it’s absolutely ridiculous that she, a literal child, is being made to be the face of stopping climate change. and she obviously thinks its ridiculous too. i’ve seen so many adults in power talking about how inspirational she is and everything, and then pretty much just stop there. it is EMBARRASSING that the 4.5 billion people over the age of 30 on earth right now are looking to one teenager to fix the problems they created. it’s not inspirational, it’s pathetic. Greta has to be so extremely aggravated with the amount of attention and lack of actual action from policymakers, because I sure am.
i promise you that 4.5 billion people on this planet do not have the position of power to influence climate change
i premise you that being over 30 is not the dividing factor here
i am begging of you all to please recognize class position as the relevant factor here
like i think what greta is doing is great and all but if you focus your ire and your blame on a vague “people over 30 age responsible for climate change” instead of “billionaires with profit interests that are directly tied to fossil fuels and imperialism” that energy is wasted
