One of the greatest displays of privilege these days is getting arrested for show, and eco-activist Greta Thunberg did just that during a coal plant protest in Germany:
Watch Greta Thunberg get carried away by German police.
The climate activist was detained by police at a protest over the expansion of a coal mine in the west German village of Lützerath, CNN affiliate N-TV reports. Watch: https://t.co/75oiLF3n9S— CNN (@CNN) January 17, 2023
Maybe “arrested” isn’t quite the right word, but “temporarily detained” might better describe what happened:
It is the second time that the Swedish activist, who joined protests on Saturday, has been moved on by police in the village this week.
The local Aachen police force said Ms Thunberg was part of a group of protesters that “stormed” towards the edge of the open-cast mine, described by officers as “steep and extremely dangerous”.
The force said the activist was not arrested but was instead carried along with other protesters for identification.
She was released after a brief detention, police confirmed.
The media are publishing select photos, but other videos that have come out have a lot of people asking one question:
Do you think Greta Thunberg being arrested for protesting the expansion of a coal mine was staged?

Many think the answer to that is a definite “yes”:
Watch the video of the "arrest" being rehearsed. Pretty pathetic.

There appeared to be a certain amount of theatrics involved leading up to Thunberg’s “arrest”:
LMFAO Greta literally staged being arrested for the cameras.

Yes, the Greta Thunberg arrest was staged for the establishment media.

It actually looks like Thunberg’s having a good time:

Even if the scenes were staged, the arrest of Greta Thunberg is a worldwide embarrassment for Germany. Shutting down perfectly good nuclear plants to strip mine the countryside. Galaxy brain stuff.https://t.co/ko8hTBa872

Greta Thunberg would appreciate it if you didn't retweet this video of her staged arrest next to these children breaking their backs in the name of her Green movement. https://t.co/HA2fjfie2d

Does that look familiar?
I think AOC faked hers better.

Greta Thunberg’s fake, staged arrest.
AOC … “Hold my invisible handcuff’s beer.”

Maybe Thunberg was inspired by some of the Squad-members (or maybe it was the other way around).
