Greta Thunberg is back, and this time, she’s sailing into a war zone. The teenage climate icon turned indigenous rights crusader has now pivoted into pro-Palestinian activism, joining the “Freedom Flotilla” to breach the Israeli blockade of Gaza. But as expected, things didn’t go as planned. In this episode, we discuss Greta’s latest PR disaster, her baffling protest against wind farms, and how she’s become the perfect symbol of performative, media-manufactured activism.

Highlights:

• “They thought they could sail right into a war zone and suddenly the radiance of their presence would cause all these combatants to beat their swords into ploughshares.”
• “The fundamental reason why Greta garners so much media attention is simple: she’s the creation of the media.”
• “All the causes that she champions – the environment, the rights of indigenous peoples, and now the Palestinians – it doesn’t matter. The common thread to all of these causes is Greta herself. It’s a classic case of narcissism.”
• “Liberals love to exploit the sufferings of others to enrich themselves. They’re not called champagne socialists or limousine liberals for nothing.”
