So much has been normalized in the last year - boycotting something you find mildly offensive, targeting people, and personally attacking them if they don't share the same viewpoints as you, filing FIRs for basically no reason.

A lot of people have said that taking offence has become a new national hobby, apparently, and every single day that is proved right by multiple people. 

Recently, activist Greta Thunberg showed her support for the farmers protesting in India and shared how people can actually protest all over the world and help the cause.

Even after being trolled for it, she's still not backing down. 

She's showing support, and she, along with Rihanna, has helped push one of the biggest protests to a global level.

Here’s an updated toolkit by people on the ground in India if you want to help. (They removed their previous document as it was outdated.)#StandWithFarmers #FarmersProtesthttps://t.co/ZGEcMwHUNL

Of course, that resulted in the entire debate about how this is India's 'internal matter' and outsiders shouldn't comment on it, even though it has gone way past that and become a human rights crisis. 

When farmers were dying, no celebrity bothered speaking up, but when 'outsiders' got involved, all of them woke up to reiterate that this is an internal matter in the same words. 

Side note, why didn't they follow their advice when they were posting black squares for Black Lives Matter? Hmm, much to think about.

Coming back to Greta, the 18-year-old Swedish environmental activist is now a target for the Delhi Police as reportedly they are filing an FIR against her for her tweets in support of farmers.

Greta has graciously responded to the development saying that she's not backing down.

I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest.
No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest

But, the question is what will this FIR even result in? 

Greta is obviously not from India, let alone Delhi. How are they going to arrest her? 

Is it a ploy to get an international trip in order to arrest her even though they have no jurisdiction outside of Delhi?

So many questions, not a single answer.

Hmm.

They can only harass a small child not a intl star like Rihanna n Meena Harris or Mia Khalifa

Good idea.

She is not indian
Sedition is not applicable

— Kritika (@Kritika_simmi) February 4, 2021

Wouldn't be surprised.

So what? We will create a new International sedition law and put Greta thunberg in jail! #bhakthlogic

The funniest tweet ever.

Maybe that was their plan?

Delhi Police bringing more attention to Protests with their own stupidity. Keep up the Good work @DelhiPolice https://t.co/W04Sfe3Jly

Seems like it.

We are officially an international joke now. https://t.co/o1LSi9gNq4

Oh no, never.

Kudos @DelhiPolice for playing to the gallery and bullying a 16-year-old. Hope you will be as proactive in filing FIRs for all the real crimes that happen on a daily basis. https://t.co/ZGNcHMzyWg

— Sumit Singla (@sumitsingla81) February 4, 2021

Yep.

Had #GretaThunberg tweeted "Goli Maro" , or praised Nathuram Godse, instead of tweeting in support of the #FarmersProtest then the government would have perhaps rewarded her rather than ask Delhi Police to file an FIR .#sarcastic https://t.co/bgoATUS5XR

Hmm.

I am with stupid. I feel sorry for Delhi police https://t.co/VlO1YLX4tm
