why is none talking about how billie eilish, bobby brown, justin bieber, britney spears aguilera timberlake rihanna miley cyrus dakota fanning holsens harry potters etc have been pimped out just to sell some pop songs, pop movies, pop shit?
why is everyone complaining when legit causes are brought up? i guess truth hurts...
greta <3
No one? Underage popstars are constantly criticized for being "pimped." Check out the shit Bieber's mother had to endure - not saying she does or doesn't deserve it.Originally Posted by ooo
Greta is a popstar alright: starring in the greatest circus of all.
yeah, what about the other 13 people I've mentioned? the last thread about eilish i've seen here has never mentioned that she was being pimped.
Using children as a tool to promote political stances is a new phenomenon, people are not as used to it.
why is she being used, by whom? I recall she decided by herself to stop attending school, appear infront of the parliament, attend the protests, go vegan, convert her parents to her views, travel the world... it's true that nothing she's saying is new, yet since she's around green politics has never seen this exploit.
she's a little weirdo and people are more used to see hyper-sexualized kids with no contents than a weirdo with strong opinions... what a sad world.
Yeah, cuz any 16 year old could do that all on their own, everyone knows that
Btw I don't think she's a weirdo, just the whole way it's presented seems a bit off to me
hm? I'm not getting it. what couldn't she do on her own? I've done most of those things myself at her age, and of course, my parents would help and support me where they could.
pierre casiraghi didn't pop up to accompany me around the world with his supersonic yacht, I'm not sure I'd have refused his offer though... lol
there's one thing that goes into Greta's favor, her autism. one feature of autism is the obsession over some things, why many autistics have OCD and other side effects. I think obsession is the word here. 'cause obviously this girl didn't do it all alone, but behind her there's her obsession over something very important, that is shaking the world.
other people are obsesses about music and their own image, and they're not even autistic, they are obviously pimped, they have all the respect they deserve.
The issue I see here is this kid is running on pure fear. Her emotional pleas even got under my skin, for different reasons. I am also concerned about climate change for my own reasons. Her pleas broke my heart. Yes, I turned it off. There was real pain and anxiety in her voice which is sad. It should be adults dealing with this stuff and allowing kids to be kids. If it was my kid I would make sure they got the help they needed to live a more balanced life while pursuing whatever goals they have. I would not let them quit school so young. Kids need some boundaries. It is fine she is trying to speak on climate change but like I said in my other post, I think there is much more going on here than what we see.

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
well I don't know of the dark plots behind her image. I think her voice has all the right reasons to be heard, as she has all the right reasons to be scared, as other kids who became heroines for social causes (Malala, Tamimi, Khatun and many others) felt the right to speak, to voice their fears, yes, but with the will to change the future, too.
I wouldn't make it too big a deal about her quitting school, I agree it's not the best, but she has an history of bullying at school, which I know you don't really care about unless it addresses sexual identity causes that are dear to you, but they're definitely harming for a kid. better home schooling, which I'm pretty sure she's attending, than dealing with harassment.
we all have our burden of causes dear to us, we just can't condemn some girl for having a higher sensitivity to some cause than us...
I think that it is a kid is what makes this quite poignant. That she is triggering people based on her age is exactly what the movement needed and this was only going to come from a Child character.
Not some sterile scientist, or Government official, but a youth young child on the verge of womanhood, begs for her future.
That is kind of the whole point of Greta. An articulate young girl pleads with Humanity. Its poetry, or puppetry. Same difference really.
Everything is both authentic and window dressing at the same time.
Not really. Nothing new here.
