Strikes me that Greta Thurnberg is a living version of Fearless Girl statue. With everything that implies

I'm going to strain and overload the metaphor a bit. They are "statues" in the sense that they're still (ie not doing anything surprising or unpredictable) while you're looking at them. When you look away, they get up to dark shennanigans. So spectation is a form of control.
