oh, by abusive relationship I was imagining that the post title and these comments were being said by a man to a woman irl. Because saying "I know a cunt when I see one" when a young girl is making an impassioned speech is pretty abusive. IRL, of course.
Ok but do your friends children have Asperger's? She needed help, and this is a much nicer life for her than if she as just an average autistic spectrum 'nobody'.
Obviously this opinion is going to get downvoted, but I simply don't understand the malice toward Greta and I think that hiding behind some sentamentalist rhetoric about her qUaLiTy Of LiFe is a crock, to be frank. It looks like she has a nice quality of life.
People don't like her because she got a lot of attention without doing much or anything herself. But life ain't fair. Also, I know this site is hard right leaning , so again, I expect to be downvoted for this stance. Greta is not that different to me than a Candice Owens type of figure, just that she has autism and gets all this frankly offensive pushback about "not being able to think for herself". ... but I'm pretty sure a lot of Aspies lead very normal lives and are able to see right from wrong. Awaiting downvotes.
Maybe you see something in the future that may play out because of this, but i'm still at a loss why her bitching and moaning about climate change is weaponizing her. She's capable of making her own choices now, as you say, and if she finds that she is being exploited then she will be able to stop if she wishes. It seems like she's just personally obsessed with saving the planet if you ask me. She's a mascot, if anything.
