I wish I had half the media savviness and foresight as Greta Thunberg. She knows exactly what she is doing. She predicted what would happen to her and the rest of her team. She knew she was putting her body and life on the line. She was betting on this. She used the attention she got from her climate activism to bring attention to other causes. She was the perfect person for Western media to elevate. She was white, a girl, mostly harmless. Embodied the kind of passive activism that corporate media wanted to celebrate. Giving the opposition a voice without any real ability or threat.

Now she has taken the platform they have given her and made herself a threat. She is supporting causes that directly impact the imperial way of life and she is doing so in ways that are less passive. They only wish they could take away all the media they have already given her and fame they heaped onto her when she was a harmless teenager.

Be prepared for stories to come out to that questions her integrity as a person. They will sling mud, and cause us to question her as a person, her values... they will find ways to alienate her from our hearts because that is the most powerful weapon they have against her.

Don't fall for it.
