Обнаружил новый термин "гретинизм".
Думаю, теперь он войдёт в лексикон надолго.

Found a new term "gretinism".
I think now it will enter the lexicon for a long time.

gretinism [n] : the fixation of people concerned about the climate on the feelings, emotions and faith (near religious) that Greta Thunberg evokes instead of analysis and wide discussion of scientific data (see also "post-truth").

@Max Kostikov Ever since Greta Thunberg came to the fore I've been exposed way more frequently to complaints and mockery from her detractors than to propaganda from her adepts. In the age of the attention economy, it's time to call out and retire the age old trope of demagogues that they are by flat clean of driving attention to what they denounce for getting attention. The Streisand effect is a concept as old as Greta Thunberg. No excuse. Gretinism is perfect to describe those who play dumb about it.

@Boris B Religious ecstasy and blind faith are always funny and pitiful (and terrible in their extreme manifestations), so I like this term regardless of personal attitude to her person and ideas she propagate.
