It was a gift from her parents (who are wealthy but that's another story).
I'm honestly ok with ultras. But her class background is worrying. Rich people like smelling their own farts. I wouldn't be surprised if she was some version of reactionary in ten years. I'm sorry, but if her parents are legitimately wealthy, she needs to practise humility.
How wealthy are the parents?
They own a cabinet making business
If the parents are legit bourgeoisie, then for real she needs to practise some humility. I've met enough loudmouth leftists with rich parents that eventually fall into a middle class career before they turn 30, remembering the blunder years of them being leftist.
At the very least, they should be focusing much of their energy on praxis and not struggle sessions. Like someone mentioned here that Greta Thurnberg at least uses her privilege for change.
As a child of working class parents, self centred rich "leftists" piss me off. I've had enough of them constantly try to shame me over bullshit, only for them to deflect the gentlest critique of them being obvious assholes over and over. And because of the benefits of their class (education, good speaking, beauty, leisure), people not paying good attention will default to the rich person's side.
One's position relative to the means of production matters a lot. A LOT, comrade.
They also own a drawer making business :(
