"Fridays for Future" - a movement ultimately sponsored and directed by these very same collection of interests and organizations - has no intention of helping the environment - but rather helping the special interests that created the movement under the cover of promoting "environmentalism."
Good Intentions Aren't Enough
The youths joining these movements undoubtedly have the right intentions at heart - but the movement itself is marketed toward youths specifically because they lack the experience and discernment needed to understand the difference between how government "works" in their school books and how it actually works when money and special interests are involved.
Greta Thunberg and "her" movement - should they in any way actually threaten the special interests that still dominate Western society - would be marginalized, censored, smeared, and attacked across the media. At their protest venues - they would be tear-gassed, beaten, and chased off the streets. And any tangible "action" that threatened to undermine big-business they advocated for would be promptly outlawed.
The fact that those responsible for repressing actual change in the West are eagerly aiding and abetting Greta Thunberg and "Fridays for Future" should tell the average onlooker all they need to know about the legitimacy and agency of these protests even without looking into the financials and ties of organizations openly sponsoring, promoting, and even directing the movement.
But the financials and ties are undeniable and quite familiar evidence that closes the case on "Fridays for Future."
The Environment Needs Real Help
Human civilization - without doubt - is negatively impacting the environment.
Big-agriculture poisons our land and water with chemicals and genetic contamination. Big-oil chokes our air. Big-defense litters battlefields with depleted uranium constituting a modern-day equivalent of plowing the earth with salt. Plastic packaging necessary for "globalized" consumerism fills our land and seas.
Even if one does not believe in mainstream notions of "climate change," petroleum-based transportation has a direct and undeniable impact on human health that must be reduced if not entirely eliminated. The wealth and power consolidated by big-energy is also a major social problem that needs to be confronted.
If Greta Thunberg and her Fridays for Future activists wanted to "save the Earth," they would be gathering outside the headquarters of the corporations responsible for these offenses - not protesting outside the offices of the politicians they own.
When "Fridays for Future" begins advocating boycotts of big-box stores and their oil-dependent, global-spanning supply chains in favor of local industry and business - when they protest genetically modified organisms and big-ag food in favor of locally produced organic produce, and when they begin advocating and investing in alternative energy rather than demanding the government do it for them - they will finally be on the road with a growing number of very real activists already working to truly save the environment.
They will also realize that these real activists - toiling for years - have never been known to them because the cameras and studios eagerly promoting "Fridays for Future" and their anemic, co-opted "activism" have already long ago worked hard to marginalize, censor, smear, and attack these genuine activists.
Genuine activism - like promoting and investing in local manufacturing and agriculture - has already been targeted by legislation to outlaw it or at the very least - seriously complicate it to the point of being impractical to pursue.
This is how one can tell the difference between genuine activism and co-opted or even manufactured activism - by seeing where the corporate media's cameras are pointed and who corporate special interests through their faux philanthropic fronts are promoting.
