Did these "quite a few 16 & 17 year olds who could write circles around most people on these forums" suspend their education with a Grade 8 Diploma? I know a man in his '70's with a Grade 8 Education and 65yrs of life experience on top of that who's guidance I'd accept any day....but this is a different animal. By the time I was her age I had four more years of education than she currently does and had been in the workforce for many years already at that point, was in a relationship for years, and was already a parent. My sum total of life experience far outweighed hers at the same age I'd confidently state.
On that note I think she's an attention seeking bullshitter who's swallowed her own Kool Aid after guilting her own parents into being Vegans. Seriously? Who where the parents in that household? Refuses to fly to save the planet but has the crews of her yacht flying back and forth between the America's and Europe to support her 'ethical standing' not to fly? Jesus Christ Cliffy, she's accepting responsibility here like Justin Trudeau is over this SNC lavalin scandal which is not at all!! With that level of Al Gore-type hypocrisy (she could tele-conference this in from her school and actually walk the walk if she actually believed what she's selling), how can anyone over the age of 15 take her seriously? This won't be a popular stance but it's real and it's honest unlike this Greta Thunberg.
She's either someone's shill and believes what they're telling her to say, or she's a dishonest hypocrite in a "Do as I say and not as I do!" entitled fraud. I don't know which but was giving her the benefit of doubt assuming she was a shill instead of a fraud, but regardless of what she is, she doesn't pass the smell test in my opinion.
