The massive corporate Western media is. And anything the corporate media is behind certainly cannot be described as “grassroots.” * * * * * * * Cartalucci offers us two alternatives. The massive climate change movement was created by a single individual or it was created by “corporate Western media.” I propose a third alternative. There were already millions of people anxious to respond to climate change and Greta Thunberg came up with an idea that that was simply a spark. But if I were to concede that a massive movement could be created by a single individual, why shouldn’t that individual be a 16 year old girl? By way of comparison I offer the example of Terry Fox. At the age of 21 he set out to run across Canada. It was only when he reached Ontario that he started to gain a wide following. Today there are Terry Fox runs in many countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Fox> ken h _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
