Our memories are short and redundant news cycles endless, in addition to everything in our own lives to attend to. Greta and her family lived a fairly comfortable life, from what I understand (and I can have a faulty understanding), but her family loved her enough to make sacrifices to encourage her passion (I believe her mother gave up her career? Please correct me if I am wrong) which fortunately fell on climate justice, which naturally eventually led to social justice, since the poor and disenfranchised have the most to lose, first. This is a very bad rough summary so a few kilos of salt, please.
