Personification of leftwing emptiness in the same style of AOC or Mamdani............. Or even some of mentally ill takers here.

The environment, Gaza, and now French pupils, interspersed with the obligatory nod to transgender rights. The past few years have shown that Greta Thunberg is not an environmentalist but a campaigner for the omnicause – the ever-changing, currently fashionable thing that motivates the perma-protesters. Activists bounce from one seemingly random grievance to the next. To outsiders, and perhaps even to Greta and her ilk, their chosen issues appear to have little in common.
But scratch beneath the surface and the connections are clear. Today's omnicause campaigners care less about any one issue than they do about striking a blow against Western civilisation itself.
They oppose scientific progress, economic growth, and prosperity. Their pathetic protests stick two childish fingers up to the Enlightenment values that have shaped Western societies for centuries, whether that's a belief in the importance of education or the biological fact of there being just two sexes. Israel, as the birthplace of Judeo-Christianity and a regional bulwark of democratic and liberal norms, is their primary target. Moving seamlessly from one issue to the next, Thunberg has become the personification of the omnicause.
But Greta backs another cause too. Herself. As she took her place outside the Lycée Paul Éluard in Saint-Denis on Tuesday, she must have known that all the cameras were on her, and she was once again the main story.
From a naïve 16-year-old sitting on the streets of Stockholm to protest climate change, Greta has grown into an attention-seeking opportunist. Wherever the omnicause goes next, one thing is certain: Greta is bound to have got there first.
