No one hates the child including the president. He tweeted that she has anger problems and with her affliction he is absolutely correct.
Do you honestly think it's right to use this child in this manner?Asperger syndrome

Other than the say-so of snowflakes on the right, there is absolutely no evidence that anyone is "using" Ms. Thunberg. That's just a fond wish of everyone who finds her message disquieting. It's shameful to attack her by weaponizing her diagnosis. And that's what is really behind all this faux concern for her by the RWers. She makes you all feel uneasy and guilty. You attack her with platitudes about her "condition" and "terrible parenting" -- instead of addressing her message. It's a classic case of kill the messenger so we don't have to hear the message.

"“We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow,” she says, tugging on the sleeve of her blue sweatshirt. “That is all we are saying.”
"It’s a simple truth, delivered by a teenage girl in a fateful moment. The sailboat, La Vagabonde, will shepherd Thunberg to the Port of Lisbon, and from there she will travel to Madrid, where the United Nations is hosting this year’s climate conference. It is the last such summit before nations commit to new plans to meet a major deadline set by the Paris Agreement. Unless they agree on transformative action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the world’s temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution will hit the 1.5°C mark—an eventuality that scientists warn will expose some 350 million additional people to drought and push roughly 120 million people into extreme poverty by 2030. For every fraction of a degree that temperatures increase, these problems will worsen. This is not fearmongering; this is science. For decades, researchers and activists have struggled to get world leaders to take the climate threat seriously. But this year, an unlikely teenager somehow got the world’s attention."
Refute this, rather than attacking the person who captured the world's attention.

So you're telling me that a 16 year old arranged all this by herself without prodding from anyone. Owl you know damn well the child is being exploited! The only reason you disagree with me is you support what she is parroting. I am sure there is money involved and the parents are the executors of all funds coming in.

More from my Time link, above:
"On Aug. 20, 2018, Thunberg arrived in front of the Swedish Parliament, wearing a blue hoodie and carrying her homemade school-strike sign. She had no institutional support, no formal backing and nobody to keep her company. But doing something—making a stand, even if she was by herself—felt better than doing nothing. “Learning about climate change triggered my depression in the first place,” she says. “But it was also what got me out of my depression, because there were things I could do to improve the situation. I don’t have time to be depressed anymore.” Her father said that after she began striking, it was as if she “came back to life."
"On the first day of her climate strike, Thunberg was alone. She sat slumped on the ground, seeming barely bigger than her backpack. It was an unusually chilly August day. She posted about her strike on social media, and a few journalists came by to talk to her, but most of the day she was on her own. She ate her packed lunch of bean pasta with salt, and at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when she’d normally leave school, her father picked her up and they biked home.
"On the second day, a stranger joined her. “That was a big step, from one to two,” she recalls. “This is not about me striking; this is now us striking from school.” A few days later, a handful more came. A Greenpeace activist brought vegan pad thai, which Thunberg tried for the first time. They were suddenly a group: one person refusing to accept the status quo had become two, then eight, then 40, then hundreds. Then thousands."
And now millions.
