The Suckers We Are

Greta Thunberg was a nobody, so far as the United States was concerned, a few months back. No one here had heard of her. But she was being lifted up in Europe and pushed forward as somebody that should be paid attention to. The international organizations were all behind her, grooming her, and using her for their propaganda in Europe. You could see it in all their media, all while we were still oblivious. And over the past three months, she’s become somebody well known here also, for no substantial reason whatsoever. She has accomplished nothing worth our paying attention to.

And yet this is how we get suckered. Every time. We’d do better to simply ignore people like this. The problem, of course, is getting everybody on board with that plan. It’s impossible.
