"The elites of the Oil and Money Conference, they have no intention of transition," Thunberg said ahead of her arrest. "Their plan is to continue this destructive surge of profits. That is why we have to take direct action."
It’s been really interesting watching Greta grow up - like in the teenager to adult sense. When she was younger you could see that kind of passionate idealism that you have when you’re young (I don’t think it’s a bad thing, the way society crushes this in young people is the bad thing). But now she just has this very profound smirk on her face everytime she’s arrested. It’s not a happy smirk but more of a ‘yep this shit again’ smirk. I think it’s a testament to her authenticity and commitment to calling out bullshit. As an autistic person Greta is also an amazing inspiration to me because sometimes people who can tell it like it is are an absolute asset to our society.
