  • I saw it on tv news yesterday and I was just so sad that this is what we have now as a president. Switched channels quickly, no point being depressed. But its just sad.

    I think we are at the end stage of capitalism and people should live their lives, trying to get out of the matrix if they can.

    I thought it was about connections from her rich family, and their ability to pull strings to make these sort of things happen for their kid.

    But from this thread, it seems the Wikipedia truth is that she is seen as a hero and risking her life. Maybe that is what actually happened, I wouldnt know.

    I dont have one. I just thought it was strange. Normally people dont get any attention at all. You have thousands of people demonstrating over issues and they get almost zero attention. This girl was put on media, got a lot of support and attention and became some kind of a symbol. Why her?

    People protest all the time and nothing happens.

    Literally everything is manipulation. Nobody questions why this particular girl was allowed to speak in front of the EU. Nobody thinks about why things happen. Who are selected and who is not. What agenda is played out.

    If you as a teenager wants to talk to the EU, you think you can just do that? Many questions.
