Seeing Greta Thunberg arrested at a Palestine solidarity protest is striking, both because it draws our attention to how as she got more radical she lost her media darling status, and because it shows how we too can grow and strive for real transformation.
“It’s been said before but the second Greta started making connections between climate change and capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism the media coverage came to a screeching halt.”

It's almost like they decided: "We will only promote inconsequential forms of activism that feel good and juvenile without effecting fundamental change".
@philcolbourn
Yes your right.

@philcolbourn It's almost as if the purpose of most media coverage is to mislead or to stick with superficial analysis only.
