He is just smart enough not to be naive about the world. And like in The Green Inferno the message of protecting the indigenous people can coexist with the horror of said indigenous people, for Quentin the left-leaning messages can coexist with seeing the Manson family as being a bunch of deranged evil motherfuckers. He isn't sugarcoating this fact. Not reducing this fact. And he even gives them the dialogue that might come out from the likes of Greta Thunberg. Yet he doesn't outright disagree with Greta Thunberg. He just thinks Greta Thunberg types are too naive.\r\n\r\nGreta Thunberg is a plant from the mainstream media to control the climate narrative. Which is not to say her ideas are wrong or that she is evil, that would be too na\u00efve. How come a random Swedish girl with no blood connection to media is swarm by world's media. I recall when Thunberg became a household name. I remember her being shown [on TV](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/sep/01/swedish-15-year-old-cutting-class-to-fight-the-climate-crisis).\r\n\r\nOf course, I do not have proof to say she has some secret ties to the media. The thing is, there are many children, teenagers speaking against various injustices. Less of them put their opinions on the internet, but many still do, it's because they are children and want to be taken seriously. Which they [should](https://blenderdumbass.org/films/Moria's_Race). How come media took notice of this 15 year old? A 15 year old from Sweden, none the less. What if she was from Syria or Pakistan. Would media care about her? I find the whole situation so suspicious. \r\n\r\nOnce you gain notoriety, it is possible sustain the attention, you need to be smart. And Greta Thunberg is autistic, of course she figured out a way to sustain fame. Her autism relies on it. The question is come media even **cared** what she had to say. Where are other Thunbergs?! Why is social media is not taking notice of other kids?!\r\n\r\nThere must a be reason. Greta Thunberg is politically useful. \r\n\r\nWhy was media so interested in her.
