- The Wired story only points out a code bug that could show the admins behind a page, it's a non-story in terms of Greta.
- The Gateway Pundit is perhaps worse than Breitbart, you'll have to do much, much better.

Greta is female.

He is from a country that encourages capitalism
He solution unites people
His solution promotes industry
His solution offers hope.
This is so ingrained, just look at the the Title of this thread the the articles linked...
They all list Greta first...

This is from the CIA World Facebook on Sweden:
Sweden’s small, open, and competitive economy has been thriving and Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living with its combination of free-market capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.

In nations with diverse, discrete cultures it doesn't work because the groups which have different cultural outlooks will end up wanting to receive the highest common-denominator output while providing the lowest common-denominator input to the system.
I could happily live in most of those socialist-y Northern European countries.... but I could not happily live in the US with Euro-socialism. In the US, we have to respect diversity and let everybody "Do You". But I need to keep the fruits of "me doing me", or at least have a fair sharing system. "To those who need it most, from those most able to provide it" does not work for me, and I took up arms once during the cold war to avoid that.
