RE: Why Are Republicans TRIGGERED by Greta Thunberg?
Last year I made a short interview ith Greta for the progressive @opulens magazine. My views regarding climate change and right-wing politics is that since climate change is a global problem and demands global solutions and storytelling it is hard for many right-wing orientated individuals to accept it. Especially individuals who are right-wing collectivists and authoritarians.
Greta is often seen as a symbol of climate activism that also included left-wing slogans and communication such as "end capitalism" which also is a political allergy for many right-wingers and conservatives. Even in Sweden, most people who are against Greta or negative towards her are right-wing orientated. And I have seen such statements and even conspiracy theories about "Greta is a PR-trick, slave by her parents" in Sweden as well. It is sad to see adults making such childish statements and behaviours.

Thanks for sharing!
David, I wanted to ask you. Since I am responsible for @opulens English section, is there any way that we could cooperate? Because Opulens started as an idea of progressive social and cultural magazine that brings together libertarian left and right in Sweden.
