Little Sister Is Watching You.
Imagine you’ve strolled into your office break room to enjoy some lunch, you open a cabinet to grab a paper napkin, reach in, and — egads! — see the visage of that 16-year-old emotionally troubled climate crusader, Greta Thunberg, scowling at you from behind the plastic spoons.
Is this a prank? Some weird new diet plan? Did Greta get lost on her latest fake-carbon-neutral adventure and wind up somehow in your work fridge?
None of the above. “Greta Shaming” is the latest lame stunt from the planet-saving crowd, intended to make you think twice before… I dunno… having the desire to go on living.
Actually, it’s to make people reconsider using disposable utensils and the like, and it’s apparently a very big deal in Israel where the whole Greta Shaming thing is taking off.

Allison Kaplan Sommer reports for Haaretz that “employees have been placing photos of a judgmental-looking Thunberg on top of their office’s supply of disposable cups, plastic plates and utensils.”
This is kind of a big deal in Israel, where there’s a high proportion of workers trying to keep kosher — and that means using disposable utensils in non-kosher kitchens.
As Kaplan writes, “many more workplaces, including the Israeli army, have been more resistant to getting rid of paper and plastic” for exactly that reason.
So what’s a Gaia-worshipping buttinsky to do? Why, the same thing they do at various UN conferences, for major media outlets, and on fake eco-tours: Turn for help to that GenZ superhero, Scowling Greta.

I’m a fairly libertarian-minded guy, and very much an anti-prohibitionist. But if this is what color printers and photocopiers have enabled, maybe we ought to consider banning them. For the planet, of course.
I kid.
There is a more serious angle to this story though. Following WWII and the Holocaust, Israel was founded — and backed up by a sierra-hotel defense force — like the one place in the world where Jews would always be free to practice Judaism.
Flash forward to today, and you have simple soldiers and office workers being shamed out of keeping kosher.
I’m not religious, and I’d probably be terrible at it if I tried, but what gives Gaia-worshippers the right to harass people of other faiths in their own workplaces?
Oh, right… progressives always know best and enjoy nothing but impunity for their annoying little stratagems. And here’s an easy prediction: Now that Greta Shaming has made the papers, it won’t be long before it goes global.
I was going to take a lunch break after filing this piece, but I seem to have lost my appetite. But then, ruining nice things for everyone else is what postmodern environmentalism is all about.

Amazing: Thunberg is totally a product of Swedish life and all that their standards of living have produced. She now attacks what made her what she is. On the other hand those Fridge raiders who are always snacking and putting on too much weight maye gain by having her warning scowling face, and lose weight? By the way, she travels around: does she do it by levitation or broomstick?
Keep out of our lives keep out of our homes Greta keep you fat scowling face to yourself Brat and please Go Home
This can only impact people who are stupid enough to buy into the climate change fraud. There can be no shame if nothing is being done wrong.
The ones doing all this need to be rounded up and returned to where they came from
If the Greta pollution ever foul my workplace kitchen, I have an easy solution: detach the photo(s) from their backing and toss them into the trash. I’d prefer to set them and all the recyclables on fire, actually, but that’s just logistically too complicated to bother with.
I have a better idea. Replace Greta’s pictures with someone more mature and better looking.
Or stick a smiley on her forehead and draw a smile on her lips. As they say, laughter is the best medicine–and this sickness needs a cure.
What a sad scowling little thing she is, maybe she should be re named Greta Humbug, after all that’s what she is preaching.
Where are the comedians? Greta is great material!
Why did Greta cross the ocean?
To get to the other side.
Greta ‘I just flew home from the other side. Wow, my arms tired’
I just wish this little brat would just go to Spain and stay there and never again return to America were tried of this whole thing Its time that kids when back to being seen and not heard and not scowling like the little spoiled brat she is
