Getting attention =/= getting them to listen. Nor does it = convincing them of anything. Congratulations to Greta for TROLLING the opposition. This is not the same as CONVINCING the opposition.
I love how you compare Trump being an a******, therefor EXPOSING assholery to the idea of Greta being an a****** and therefor exposing the truth as being equally true. A more ACCURATE way of describing it would be to say that just like Trump exposes the "greed and racism" of people who follow him, Greta exposes the insincerity and shallow virtue signalling of the people who ardently follow her.
I somehow doubt the people who need to be brought on board are actually being BROUGHT ON BOARD because of her. Paying attention and changing one's position are NOT the same thing.
This DOES expose the bias of how you think though:
Right wing douchebaggery = exposes how right wing is douchey.
Left wing douchebaggery = exposes how left wing is good.
>_>
Maybe the LEFT should start "paying attention" to the right. Because ONLY the left wing ever has that opinion.
