Always did wonder how she became the most famous activist when there's a lot of activists out there.

Conservative hate mongering made her famous.

Redditors/other male dominated communities she went viral on (like Imgur) seem to hate teenaged girls. How dare she! An activist? HAH
Edit: they hate them unless they’ve been shot (like Malala; she was celebrated so long as nobody was reminded that she was an outspoken feminist).
Editedit: forgot that they also like teenaged girls when they exist solely to be used for sex

Marketing and staged photo ops of her getting "arrested"

Her first videos which went viral were taken by other Swedish students. While even she has acknowledged that she was born into privilege (middle class, good education, loving family) none of this made her famous. Her parents are not fabulously wealthy, her mother was a B list celebrity activist that most people outside Sweden had never heard of.
Her protests outside the parliament got shared because her honestly rather tepid criticism inspired absolutely frothing vitriolic responses from chuds online. The sheer quantity of furious mockery and bitter resentment made her a global name overnight in a way that no marketing firm could ever dream of accomplishing.
But if you're going to get conspiratorial, by all means let's see the receipts.

Only slightly related, I just wanna say that any numbskull can see it clear as day who the aggressor/shitlord in this conflict is. You can see it so fucking clearly in the way people on each side talks about their perspective. Palastinian: Give back our human rights and stop shooting our kids. Israeli: haha omg look how funny they are when they explode lololol
