Greta Thunberg could have, by now, carved out a very comfortable life for herself as a liberal grifter-celebrity offering platitudes about personal responsibility at Davos. Instead she connected the dots between ecocide, capital, and empire, aiming squarely at the heart of the beast. And now fresh out of captivity she downplays her own suffering to recenter the urgency of aid to the Palestinian people. No wonder she’s hated by the fascist+lib coalition that rules this world.

Who’s making excuses for grifters?
You. “It’s that need to eat that drives people who have the opportunity into being grifter-celebs…” Being a selfish sack of shit is what drives people to take advantage of others.
I did not read it as an excuse. They literally pointed it out that greed is creating grifter-celebs.
