How Apocalypse Became Palatable Enough For Them To Contemplate
The only thing that Greta Thunberg did about the climate catastrophe — and the climate movement, if you could even grace the Western faction with that title — was make it palatable enough for the Western bourgeoisie to contemplate. It is thanks to her ""brilliant insight"", they laud, that they finally managed to figure out that their wanton destruction of the planet will also include themselves and their children. Amazing.
She is generally an establishment creature like the rest of them, being among the usual suspects at the World Economic Forum annually for at least 5 years, recently providing cover for Western imperial ambitions like through doing the rounds with Zelenskyy and supporting the European effort to again keep controlling the affairs of Africa.
The silence of the Green lobby on the catastrophic impact of the Nord Stream attack thus seems all the more unusual. Environmental activists across the US have rallied around calls to prevent the construction of pipelines in various regions, citing their negative environmental impact, but those same people seem remarkably quiet when it comes to the biggest pipeline-related environmental catastrophe in decades. The lack of any significant challenge regarding this act of eco-terrorism speaks volumes about the West’s selective approach to the Ukraine conflict. Green moral outrage is instantly shelved once Russia or China is the target and not the perpetrator.
The other elephant in the room is of course the fact that the US military represents the single-biggest source of carbon pollution on planet Earth. It's the largest consumer of energy in America itself and the world’s single-largest institutional consumer of petroleum. In this context it’s worth noting the endless stream of “celebrity” visitors to the court of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky in Kiev, amongst them the 'Queen of Green' Greta Thunberg, who decried the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam and the environmental impacts of war, all the while posing for grinning pictures with Zelensky and his entourage.

Otherwise she is useful to the elites because she reinforces the identity politics that is more concerned with the ascendancy of individuals, the unresolvable rivalry of identity factions, and the division based on traits whereby everything is converted into an identity (youth to "young vs. old", feminism to "being a woman", vegan to an identity trait, not to mention autism and the rest) than the masses overthrowing their oppressors with real social momentum.
