Which should have been the expected response. Extremism can only ever create more extremism on the other end of the spectrum.
The only thing those street gluers achieve is the exact opposite of their goal.
Murdering the civilization by knowingly and willingly create conditions for climate change: normal behaviour, good, commendable.
Public non-violent protests against that: extremism, bad, scary.
I love civil disobedience. Go break shit.
Eh, it honestly depends on what the climate protestors are doing. If they're chaining themselves to people's cars, painting aeroplanes with toxic paint (so the company has to use toxic chemicals to remove it), or glue themselves to the autobahn, then they're honestly just making a mockery out of climate activism.
Moira who can't get to work because some cunt chained themselves to her wheel isn't going to become an ally when she gets scolded by her shitty boss for being late due to something she can't control. She needs to pay her landlords mortgage and put food on the table for her kids. Her old car might not be the most environmentally friendly but it might be the only option she has.
Picket parliament. Organise big costly strikes. Build gillotines and kidnap the CEOs and investors of big oil. Or you know, do something productive, like show the impact a small pond and some wildflowers can make in a green desert, or maybe work to restore wetlands.
Most people do care, but don't have the time or capacity to do shit about it. If you have the time and energy to fuck over Duncan on his way to his shitty second job so he can pay for his mortgage and his student loans, you have time to fuck over the people that have the power to help you actually make a change.
The street gluers must be paid crisis actors (just like the GOP projects) to make climate activism seem like a bunch of crazy people.
I've spent enough time around wannabe revolutionaries to think most of those people are honest and really believe impeding some poor people from going to work will help make the masses adopt their cause.
It does help their belief system that they and most of the people around them were convinced by some asshole doing something similar.
As far as the ones in Germany go, largely they don't seem to be. They are really that stupid. Even when they try to target the right people they fuck it up. It is fun to watch however. Some hilarious stories and little to no success have come out of it.
Eh, lynching the big suits in the oil industry is fine by me.
Make them scared to leave their homes if they want to sacrifice everything for their own profits.
The way things are going, there will come a day when we regret we didn't become violent against them while there was still time to stop climate change.

I'm sorry, how are they getting their hands on toxic paint? Are are they making it themselves? If it's the later then they have really just undone the entire of their "point".
Yeah but I can't direct my hate at an individual as easy when it's hot outside

Greenies:Stop oil now!
Also greenies: *obstructs nuclear power for 60+ years. *
Please stop pretending we can run society on wind and solar.
We can run society on wind and solar, and it's looking more and more of a certainty that the price of the alternatives will bankrupt all of them.
You can. With nuclear as the baseline. Infinitely (not literally) more clean than fossil fuels and way, WAY more safe even including Chornobyl in the stats.
If sticking heads in sand was an Olympic sport, climate change deniers would consistently take home 100 kg antimatter trophies.
Isn't the direct and immediate personal inconvenience the point? But, like, target the people who have decision-making power.
Just try to actually target the people with decision-making power to see what happens.
Those "we must have an impact!" protest never do that.
They've done actual studies that show these protests are counter productive, blindly supporting anything just because they claim to support your cause is incredibly dumb.
In this world there are a huge amount of people who really, really, really like attention and will insert themselves into anything to try and get it, they'll use any excuse to 'boost their profile' especially if they can pretend to be some form of hero along the way.
The idiot who got shot in the capitol and the idiot who threw soup on the painting are the same unthinking attention seeking type of idiot, the right pretend they're breaking into the capitol to save children, the left try to ruin people's day in the name of climate change - then on their respective sides a whole host of idiots cheer and say 'I'm supporting these brave activists so I'm not part of the problem, I can continue to live my life exactly as I chose - safe in the knowledge that cheering on these idiots is enough'
If you believe there is anything you can do about this. Then you are naive. There are almost eight billion of us. We have an immense industry. People not worrying about things like that is normal. Because they are to busy feeding there children. Trying to live a little. Also why do people think that you can stop climate change. The dice has been rolled. Alea iacta est.
It has become fashionable for some to take a defeatist condescending stance like this when it comes to issues that affect everyone. If you think it makes you look smart, it doesn't. These are pressing issues and people have to take action. If you don't want to, go ahead and disappear. But don't talk down to those who are and those who are calling for it.
It's my opinion. Has nothing to do with talking down. I genuinly don't believe there is anything we can do.
Protest at the big corporations, cool, I might show up.
Protest in the middle of the fucking road, and you might get hit...
We get it, you care as long as your selfish ass isn't inconvenienced. I so love a society that pretends to care oh so much about democracy and the average person supposedly being able to change things and then being so angry about then being the target of protests when they don't take the actions to change things.
How does making me and possibly hundreds or thousands of other people late for whatever the fuck we are doing going to make us join in? And what about all of the videos from your side of the pond of people getting just as mad when fucks like you sit in the middle of the road? Just Americans on vacation I guess... All the shit going wrong with the world and it's "the Americans" that don't get it. Fuck you and your high horse!
Protest in the middle of the fucking road, and you might get hit...
This guy has so many edges he became a sphere.
Clever
"inconvenience me and I might murder you with my car" I hope you're getting a lot of money from the oil tycoons in exchange for being one of their brownshirts
You're asking them to protest at places where you evidently haven't noticed the protests all these years, because you haven't shown up. You're not going to show up. I don't think even you believe you're going to show up.
But you do seem to notice the protests you can't ignore. There's only one way you can make those stop.
