    She’s the literal embodiment of white, middle-class European bourgeois sentiment.

    She is the child of famous Swedish actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman (who represented Sweden in Eurovision 2009), so when she got famous I suspected it was some kind of stunt pushed by her parents as, like with many rich and privileged people, they probably had plenty of contacts on their deck to be able to garner media attention. It doesn’t surprise me that she and her family would be the milquetoast white liberal Swedes that they are.

      Do you mean she didn’t magically shoot to environmental stardom merely by the force of her ideas, oratory, and passion? Colour me greenwashed.

          It was especially (if morbidly) fun to watch that development in postsocialist countries where actors and singers tried to gap the century of development of celebritism in just two decades. They had everything, but faster: faster money, faster careers, child actors, feudal-level nepotism, and of course faster drama on sex, drugs, marriages and divorces etc.

          Honestly i’m pretty much surprised they didn’t incested themselves out of conventional DNA chains in single generation.
