Edited later to add:

The original press release seems to be gone now, but here is what is claimed to be the revised release, and an article on the same topic.

The reason you don't hear about Greta anymore is because she didn't let her conscience stop at climate change. She's a left wing activist fighting for social justice in all things.

The rich will mold her image in history the same way they did for MLK, leaving out all the aspects of her politics that make them squirm.

Same reason we immortalized the child version of Helen Keller. Though she lived to 87.

Could you elaborate?

I never realized that, and it is kind of messed up. Although I suppose the main thing that happened for her happened as a child, the story of how she came to understand that words had meaning, starting with "water." I suppose I don't hardly know anything about the rest of her life.

I assume they're referring to her being an outspoken socialist as an adult.
