She's not even old enough to know what her point of view IS! If some alleged grown-up had not come along and told her what it was, she'd still be living her childhood and going to school like normal kids.
But extracting a quote from BIAD's post above:
Quote:What did Greta Thunberg say?
In an emotional speech, she said: "This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other
side of the ocean, yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?"
"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words," the 16-year-old said.
And she urged world leaders to act urgently, saying: "We will be watching you."
In common with most teenage girls, she seems to be quite the drama queen.
My response to her:
Greta, honey, run along now and go ahead and get back in school on the other side of the ocean, please. Neither I nor anyone I know have looked to you or any other teenager for "hope" - in that, you are sorely mistaken. I stole neither your dreams nor your childhood - they're waiting for you still, on the other side of the ocean, right where you left them. No one has bothered them, because no one wants them. If ANYONE "stole your dreams and childhood with empty words", you need look no further than the dumbasses who wound you up and sent you on this fool's errand! But by all means, watch me! Watch me every chance you get - you might learn something that will help you when you get to your adult life! Run along now, little girl - grownups are talking here...

Now, if that picture is this Thunberg child, it's pretty scary looking. If I were a christian, I'd have to admit that the look on her face fairly screams "Satan lives here!". She should have auditioned for the Exorcist, and ought to keep that recommendation in mind in case they do a re-make... they've been doing a lot or re-makes lately in Hollowood, because the town seems to be all out of fresh ideas.
"Hollowood" was not a typo...
Kids these days! They better stay the hell off of my lawn, this Thunberg delinquent included!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
