And that's where I think Thunberg does the most damage. She encourages hysteria and students to skip class for "the environment". We're literally losing a generation of problem-solvers thanks to her direct efforts, not to mention sowing the entire generation with anxiety and fatalism instead of a desire to approach this like a solvable problem.
Then there's the fact that she's an influencer. In most Western countries that is now the most desired profession, so who knows how many brilliant people we are wasting in the pursuit of getting people to hit Like and Subscribe (oh and the alarm bell!) because people like Thunberg glamorize the lifestyle?
Finally, I think if the author wants to see true sociopathy, a quick visit to their nearest UN SDG, WEF, or the myriad of spawn off environmentalist NGOs would help them clarify what sociopathy is.
