Im sure the oil execs are trembling in their boots when you protest by... checks notes... consuming their product even harder
But god forbid you block a highway as a climate protest. That’s just terrorism.
I know it's just a false comparison, but insert an ambulance into each situation and tell me how that works.
Still amazes me that the "only reason there's food at the supermarket", as they put it, is an industry that is largely freelancers. So anything that stops their job from turning a profit now becomes societies problem instead of some companies problem.
Reminds me that the Epstein emails mentioned interest in the French Gilet Jaunes, which were protesting a carbon tax on fuel.
It appears well worth asking whether such protests are organic or, well, fake.
I think it was Bannon who mentioned that.
Which would not be surprising given the close symbiosis of the world-wide far right and the fossil fuel industry. Both are enemies of Europe's democracies, one side needs money and one side spends fucktons of dollars for political influence.
The massive influence taken by the tabacco industry before phasing out smoking in public buildings is childs play compared to that.
