So... she seems very intelligent and it’s a bit of a dirty tactic to try and dismiss her based on age or by saying she “should be in school.” She still has lots to learn. If she is this intelligent now- if she keeps going who knows how far she could grow in another 10,20 years of learning? That said- kids can do pageants, play sports etc. and still manage to “go to school.” What exactly makes you think that she can’t get an education while keeping a schedule of speaking and making appearances?

She's currently refusing to go to school as a form of protest.

No. She skipped school Fridays to protest. There is a big distinction. In 2019 she began a sabbatical from school intended to last one year. If you notice “go to school” is in quotation marks- because all the alternate forms of learning to going to an established institution for 8 hours a day X days a week is not the only form of schooling one can have. Self led study is another example and so on. The point was that she can protest and speak while still growing and learning as a person and if the quality of education and experience she gets in her activism is high enough she can afford to miss some school or take a sabbatical here and there.

Everyone ends up being a corporate puppet one way or another. Make a movie about corporate greed so that a corporation can make money off of it. Start a podcast, organize protests or boycott over social media so that a corporation can make money off it. Feed them data, bring them more people. Start your own counter culture website and pay the server farms and the network owners. If it isn’t illegal- it means it can be commoditized or it somehow serves the powerful. Reject society, go live in a shack or a cave off the grid. Maybe even fight back? Yeah. No one has ever made money off the unibomber or Taliban. No documentaries, no using those types of images as boogie men for compelling people to make decisions that ultimately serve the desires of those innpower but are hidden in a wrapper or public interest.

It’s 2020. The live action matrix. It’s all around you, you’re part of it. Even escaping doesn’t change that. Those who escape are allowed to- it’s another layer of control, part of the system. The illusion of choice. So I mean... everyone is a corporate puppet in some regard, just not all of us can see our own strings, are aware of who is pulling them. A puppet that thinks everything it does is its own idea, its own self actualization when in fact, there’s someone else pulling the strings.
