Alright Greta, what's your name? >

Ya'll don't seem to understand how Germany works:
People were mistakenly declared dead offficially and it took them years to clarify it. Even though there was no doubt at all and people admitting the error.
Bureucracy, baby! Greta will sign here, here, here and *flippages* here. >

A friend of mine was declared dead here in the US a decade ago, it took him 4 years to be able to get an ID and get all his other stuff back in his name. >

A lady I worked with drove around for years with no plates or driver's license because the system listed her as dead and the local cops didn't want the headache of the paperwork.  Apparently it's way harder to "alive" someone than to "unalive" them. >

That's usually how it works. Unaliving is murder, re-aliving could launch a whole religion. 😁 >

Well, Kathy finally got re-alived after 3 years fighting with the state. >

It's the second coming of Kathy.

She actually looks like she’s enjoying herself. Good for her. >

well she knew that the moment they touched her she won and that this photo will make world wide press and germany big time embarassed itself. >

I mean, are you really a protestor if you aren't willing to be arrested over and over? >

For more context: 

The environmental activist, 20, has been taking part in protests against the demolition of a village to make way for the expansion of a nearby coal mine.

We are very close to wiping ourselves out as a species, and we need more people like Greta both paying attention and calling attention to the cause of it. >

The most concerning issue to me is further down:

The tiny hamlet of Luetzerath, in North Rhine-Westphalia, is owned by utility firm RWE and has been emptied ahead of its demolition to allow for the expansion of the nearby Garzweiler coal mine.

So people were kicked out of their homes by a utility company?  How does that happen?  Who is responsible for making every resident of that community homeless? >

The animals and environment weren’t compensated (obviously, deer and trees have little use for money). I don’t know much about German wildlife, but mines and dams are responsible for wiping out whole ecosystems, and we are already in the middle of a mass extinction event. >

Well yeah, agreed. >
