Many years later, she's out there. She's still doing the nitty gritty. Could of cashed in and been a public speaker. I appreciate and respect what she does.
She's a real one.
Greta Thunberg is the next generation of Bernie Sanders. Protect and cherish her.
If you feel outraged by her detention then be aware that thousands of people you've never heard of have suffered the same fate.
I hope she has a big glass showcase full of pictures of her being carried out by various police officers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Greta Thunberg was forcibly removed by the Swedish police for blocking the entrance to parliament for a second day along with a few dozen other climate activists.
Ms Thunberg, who was in a sit-down protest against “political inaction” over the spiralling climate crisis, was picked up by two police officers and dragged away from the parliament building.
“The climate justice movement has, for decades, been repeating the same message over and over again, like a broken record, and we feel like we are not being heard,” Ms Thunberg told the Associated Press.
This week’s protests came as the EU Environment Agency released its first-ever continent-wide assessment of the risks of the climate crisis, warning members states to prepare for its “catastrophic” impacts.
“Hundreds of thousands of people would die from heatwaves, and economic losses from coastal floods alone could exceed €1 trillion per year,” the report warned under a pessimistic projection of warming trends.
A UK court acquitted her last month for obstructing the entrance to a major oil conference after the judge ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict.
The original article contains 378 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
keep on making them roll that dice.
Greta was flexing that keffiyeh when it was still unpopular. She's a real one.
And she was not in a good mood.
Nice to see someone who understands how to protest instead of the dip shits blocking ambulances and defacing paintings in the UK.
When will they learn.
Who is "they" in this instance?
The police, they are literally working against their own interest when they arrest her. I probably should have clarified that.
They won't. The police exist to protect the interests of the state, so as long as the state doesn't give a shit and continues to pay sufficient renumeration to those willing to exercise unjust power over their fellows then... yeah.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
