'Greta Thunberg's passionate appeal to world leaders at this week's U.N. session, is hostage to the reality that Gen-Z is inheriting the brave and frightening new world that the older generations seem numb to.'
“The most common name this group is given is Gen Z; I call them Generation K, after Katniss Everdeen, the determined heroine of the. “Like Katniss, they feel the world they inhabit is one of perpetual struggle — dystopian, unequal, and harsh.”
That’s the kind of energy Greta brings with her when she addresses a crowd : urgent, pragmatic, humorless. It’s both terrifying and refreshing.. You see it in the way that some commentators, especially on Fox News, dismiss Greta as “mentally ill,” hysterical, or fed talking points by her parents. They tell her to “go back to school,” not understanding that she very much wishes she could.
Unwittingly and indirectly, Trump helped Greta make a point about Generation Z: That the days of “happy young girls looking forward to a bright and wonderful future” may be over because scientists are warning us — and have been for a long time — that we’re unless we work as a planet to drastically reverse course. While he’s trying to distract us from this fact, Greta is here to remind us whose tiny hands the future is really in.
