Once again, it bears repeating that it's not Greta Thunberg's flotilla, but the flotilla put together by other people that Greta Thunberg hitches her name and fame to.
I think a better connotation would be “lends.” Greta Thunberg lends her name and fame to.
The media would care a lot less about the flotilla if it didn’t have a household name onboard. “Hitches” implies Thunberg is doing it for her own benefit. “Lends” has the opposite implication.
I’m sorry I, a random dude in the Midwest, didn’t know about a thing happening in the Mediterranean that no one told me about. I’m so ashamed. /s
What exactly is your point?
It’s not that people don’t care. It’s that people don’t know. That’s my entire point. Media pays more attention because a name people know is involved.
If people aren’t talking about it, other people won’t hear about it. That’s why “famous” people get involved, to bring attention to it.
“Greta derangement syndrome”?
No, he said "greta derrangement syndrome", not “Greta derangement syndrome”. The difference is he doesn't know how to fucking spell :D
Then it’s a good thing she is on this one, right?
Yes but people should care about flotillas regardless he is in there
Of course, but her being there brings more visibility that the previous one didn’t have.
I love that she is there but i would like to hear credits for all of them. For example Chris small who never new about him before was the most abused by the idf
Lol
