Trying to get ahead of the alt-right hate machine here.
Apparently Ms. Thunberg improv’ed a speech and used Swedish figures of speech which turned out to sound more violent than they are (damn lucky she doesn’t have Finnish as her first language). Is my book suggestion ok?

She as a Swedish language speaker naturally thinks in the metaphors and analogies of her native language rather than ours. I can’t fault her for that. I bet a lot of the usual suspects will use this for their own cynical bullshit though.
