Young adult gathers together a circle of friends of all different backgrounds and ethnicities, preaching love and respect for all people. Travels around the world, building a progressively larger and larger following that increasingly rubs people in positions of authority the wrong way. Defies the major economic powers of the era in disruptive protests. Brings aid and compassion to the most vulnerable and least loved. Finally, assembles a triumphant pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Harassed by the world's ruling military. Arrested by a group of radical orthodox religious elders. Tortured. Dragged through a kangaroo court system, while being defamed and denigrated by the military and the religious elders alike.

I gotta say, Greta's story is possibly the Greatest Ever Told, when you think about it.

Wow. I hadn’t heard her speak recently. I’m so impressed with her clarity, articulation, and passion without performative theatrics. Especially since this seems to be an extemporaneous moment. Thanks for posting.

She got my attention. This is how religious extremists treat extremely peaceful swedish blonde women trying to feed the starving.

Fuck religions. Religions might not cause all the problems in the world, but it sure has been a constant stream of hate, violence, torture, and genocide for my entire life. Even to peaceful people trying to help others not die horribly in ways that are also peaceful.

She’s so well spoken. Hopefully more people listen.
