Greta Thunberg’s narcissism knows no bounds
The sequel is rarely as good as the original, so it’s unlikely that “Greta II: the Flotilla Returns” will be as uproariously hilarious as the first version starring Greta Thunberg.
The publicity they secured wasn’t quite what they expected. As a climate activist Thunberg was used to world leaders and the media prostrating themselves before her. The idea that her presence in a war zone might not have been welcomed by the Israelis doesn’t seem to have occurred to her. The resulting footage of the boat being boarded and Thunberg’s subsequent time in Israel turned out to be comedy gold – at her expense. “We’ve been kidnapped!”, she yelled. “This is a war crime!”, shouted another of the crew, as Israeli soldiers handed round sandwiches and blankets to the activists.
But there is a more interesting element to it. Thunberg is the exemplar of the so-called “omnicause”.
It is because they are examples of the causes which today’s modern activists must champion, along with the “climate emergency” and the fight for “trans rights”. It is the same people demonstrating about the same things. If you drew a Venn diagram of Palestine, eco and trans activists, it would look like an eclipse of the sun, because they are one and the same people.
Thunberg and her fellow wannabee Gaza tourists are cut from the same cloth, and for them it is the omnicause which matters above all else. Their latest stunt will garner publicity, and then they, and the rest of us, will move on to the next.
The sequel is rarely as good as the original, so it’s unlikely that “Greta II: the Flotilla Returns” will be as uproariously hilarious as the first version starring Greta Thunberg, the Swedish activist best known for her time as a teen climate campaigner.
