Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos.

I’m ruled by a small autistic woman from Sweden? If you say so…
She’s a person who has the courage to stand by her convictions. Some people feel threatened by it, some people feel insecure about themselves because they lack the strength to do what she does. Much respect to her.
she inspired me to go vegan as I believe that it is a positive action for the environment and society.
