Speaking from a German perspective I feel like the Fridays for future movement has significantly affected (parts of) her generation. I have many colleagues whose kids are focusing on a diet with less environmental impact and also asking their parents to change.

It is impressive that it has been such a long running and wide spreading movement and I am sure that there will be many politicians, activists and entrepreneurs coming out of this movement in the future.

It is hard to expect anything more from a child who has been belittled constantly. I wish I would be standing up for my believes as strongly as she does.

If your parents were multimillionaires and hired publicists and boat crews and built a brand around those beliefs, I'm sure you would have too.

Yeah, I would have but I'm not rich or have the time so I couldn't. Good thing she's doing it.

Meanwhile I'm not rich, but I haven't commuted by car in almost 15 years. I also haven't flown a sailing crew to New York to sail a boat built by a Rothschild back across the Atlantic ocean after I finished my instagram post. So I'd say I've done less damage to the environment then she has.

So you're just envious that nobody is applauding for you?
