Why Greta Thunberg is a classic case of an abused privileged kid
No, I don’t hate Greta, and I don’t think she should be stopped or anything, but I also don’t like her or her family. It’s not her fault, it’s her parents', the girl has autism ffs. When you look into her, what she’s done, and where she comes from it all points to one thing.
Privileged abuse.
She’s going to have a good life on a superficial level no matter what she decides to do, but there's a darkness in the background controlling her every move for their own benefit.
What is privileged abuse?
Privileged abuse is something that I’ve just made up in the last 2 minutes although it could already be something that’s been defined — we don’t look things up here. Because it’s literally just come to my mind and this post was originally supposed to be about something else, it’s not a fully flushed-out idea yet.
It’s where a kid from a privileged background is used, usually by their parents, as a means to benefit the user in one way or another. From the outside, it looks like their parents are giving to them and providing them a good life, but when you look behind the curtain you see that it’s all for their own gain, and the kid is fucked because of the treatment they’ve received.
