It would be slightly less hypocritical if some of the same people that are wringing their hands about people being mean to Greta Thunberg weren't egging on awfulness against the Covington kids.
I'm not sympathetic to those who are moralizing about trolling this child they like, when they just put down the torches and pitchforks they had out for a different child they don't like.
- Porthos9K 7y agoMs. Thunberg is actually doing something useful: she's challenging those in power to stop being content to profit from the status quo, get off their over-privileged asses, and clean up after themselves instead of leaving the mess for her generation to deal with. We're lucky kids her age are still talking, and haven't decided that the situation is sufficiently dire to justify the use of violence.
