I said her naivety can be explained by her extreme youth. What else is there to say? My pejorative comments are aimed at ER, not her, I deplore the way they and others around her have exploited her youth and naivety.
I have carefully avoided saying anything about her autism because it has been made plain in the past that this is an elephant in the room we mustn't mention. However I do think this makes her particularly vulnerable to exploitation and I am shocked more than anything that her parents seem to have been complicit in her exploitation.
Were she being touted as a new Messiah for a new religion, everyone would be concerned about her exploitation and looking to social services to protect her from her exploiters, but just because her real and justifiable concerns have been picked up by a cause, that no one who has any pretensions to be woke dare challenge, nobody is doing anything to protect her.
I am not speaking from lofty experience, I am just one of the billions of ordinary people who have known about climate change for decades. It has been front page news in every news media you can mention for at least that long.
Billions of people, who have been working systematically to make lots of little changes in their lives, to support causes that support the environment and find it very galling to have a lot of professional protesters suddenly pop up from nowhere, claim that the government has done nothing and making preposterous demands that they have no idea how they can be implemented or what effect ot would have on the country. That they think in forwarding their cause that it is acceptable to exploit a vulnerable child puts them beneath contempt.
