    So either Germany has like 30 climate protesters, or these particular protesters are thought to be up to something and thus detained ahead of time to prevent them from causing damage either to people or property.

    It’s worth noting that

    1. The legality of this is being disputed and,
    2. The decision to detain these people is labelled as controversial by the article

    You can bet your arsehole that there’ll be people protesting at the event, and protesting hasn’t magically been made illegal.

    If you’ve been caught trying to hijack a plane in the past, you might find yourself being under extra scrutiny next time you try to fly. That’s entirely on you.

    I frequently call for the heads of big oil CEOs and enabling politicians, I don’t think I’ll ever be let within a kilometre of either type of people.

      I’m begging you to take a look at the dangerous nefarious terroristic acts Letzte Generation usually engages in. They do non-violent road blockades. Sometimes they chain themselves to stuff. They might even spray some paint on a private jet sitting in a lot. These are the criminal masterminds Germany needs to crack out pre-crime for. It’s the mildest bullshit you can imagine.

        And what is that going to achieve? Because they glue themselves to the autobahn, or chain themselves to a dozen cars, people will magically stop driving?

        Then what? How is people not driving affecting the grand scheme of things?

        It’s not. Do something useful, like get to the people responsible. Idiotic stunts like super gluing yourself to a table is making a mockery of the entire climate movement.

        The suffragettes fucked with census and blew shit up. It’s time to take a leaf from their playbook.

          “They must have been planning something terrible”

          “They weren’t”

          “Well they should have!”

          🤔

          You’re just being contrarian.
