Oh, for chrissake. She did navigate it. She navigated it brilliantly. If she'd done any of what I'm suggesting, she would not be famous. She doesn't believe in "technical solutions," she doesn't believe the solutions are in sight. This is patently wrong.
I disagree with Greta, and I think she's pointing the discourse in a direction that will ultimately hurt her own cause. But I also don't think the social reality around her provided alternate roles for someone who *needed* to do *something.*
I'll leave it at that, because I genuinely can't tell how much of your argument is in good faith, and your comments about my somehow representing SV and diminishing Greta's personal agency strike me as both unfair and manipulative. Best of luck to you.
Good faith. I spend a lot of time at this boundary, and have a lot of personal stake in its outcome. I am v interested in what you have to say. I just think Greta issue has context you aren't supply, but in turn, I don't accuse you of cyncism. Don't even disagree on main pts.
Personally, I think this is patrician view - I would have hated to think as a young person I wasn't "provided with alternate roles" that I couldn't make for myself. But I guess we disagree on that. I do broadly agree her policies are not good enough to change anything.
I also - fwiw - have come round to the view, which is I think your main impetus, that kids should be doers not talkers, and society should inculcate that. I don't know however how kids should navigate the political landscape however. Ignore it? I am puzzling that myself.
