She hasn’t prevented fascism so her efforts have been fruitless? Kinda nonsense argument is that?
She started a worldwide youth climate strike movement involving millions in 150+ countries over thousands of strikes. Encouraged global youth and political reforms, even influencing local government decisions in places like the U.S, credited with inspiring the “Greta effect”: shifts in public attitudes and behaviors on climate action. Made flight-free travel a trend, boosting the “flygskam” (flight shame) movement in Scandinavia, which reduced domestic flights in Sweden by ~9% in 2019. Put actual pressure on the systems at large and has impacted their decision making. List goes on. These are deep systemic changes she’s successfully pushing.
With no backing other than having a spine. MAGAts love to pretend her parents pushed her into it but it was the other way about.
