She probably thinks it has all been white male Boomers' fault, like Steven Brill, who even blames mostly only white male Boomer lawyers!
Let's see how narrow we can get Whig interpretions of history.
What Thunberg bellows about and confutes is what people like Strauss & Howe folks have predicted, a hero generation coming up to save their sorry asses, redeem the West and somehow redeem the Rest too, and keep the cycle of renewal and reverse trending ever upward in natural progress.
When she roars "HOW DARE YOU....", she means folks who have been waiting for a S & H hero Messiah generation to appear.
Many of the same folks who condemn their own Boomer generation hail the advent of a messiah generation soon.
Even people like Thunberg, who is also Whig wrong every which way, tells them, even while wielding it, that this S & H hero burden thrown on her generation is bullshit, intramural escapist multi generational bullshit Whig history.
Young whigs chewing out old whigs.
Old whigs chew out young whigs too.
Whig on whig.
