Greta Thunberg shares ‘India protest toolkit,’ gets accused of ‘rent-a-cause activism’ & aiding ‘international conspiracy’ – By Russia Today Staff (Russia Today) / Feb 4 2021
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has shared a “tool kit” with tips and talking points for backers of India’s farmer protests, stoking a wave of backlash and accusations she aided a foreign plot to destabilize the country.
Thunberg took to Twitter on Wednesday with a lengthy document – apparently created by activists but whose origin is unclear – outlining ways to contribute to the pro-farmer protests, including stock messages and hashtags to disseminate on social media, as well as advice on organizing rallies. Within hours, the “toolkit” was taken offline by its creators and replaced with a much shorter version, with Thunberg noting the previous doc was “outdated” as she shared the new missive.
Here’s an updated toolkit by people on the ground in India if you want to help. (They removed their previous document as it was outdated.)#StandWithFarmers #FarmersProtesthttps://t.co/ZGEcMwHUNL
