Ah yes, the famous airport blockades od those events. Oh, wait ....
Yeah absolutely comparable!!!!
No! Those activits crossed a line where they were willing to risk life's. And this is the point where I refuse to keep my personal feelings out of this discussion.
If you block an airport, you are willing to risk other people's life. And your mindset shows that we are very close to terrorism.
And, most of all, this pisses me of because nearly every idiot involved in this has a China made phone in his pocket that would not exist without air traffic.
You want environmental terrorism? Fine! But be consequentl. Don't buy electronics, don't buy or use stuff that needs rare earth's, oil, or other polluting stuff.
Running over an air field to protest against climate change while recording ourself with your iPhone! Nice!
But! Still I don't have the opinion that the last generation itself is a criminal organization. Still, some members do everything they can to prove the police and critics correct
8 hour day protestors got into firefights with the police on dozens of occasions. They killed police, foremen, Pinkerton stooges, and more. The civil rights law was won on the back of hundreds of riots all across the US. The history they teach in schools is explicitly designed to hide the true history of class struggle.
