Climate activist Greta Thunberg is among dozens of people who have been detained by police in The Hague as they removed protesters who were partially blocking a road in the Dutch city.
Careful you might trigger the snowflake‡ and they'll whine and argue in the comments for days to come about how they should be able to stomp on the rights of people they disagree with while simultaneously sucking off the nearest billionaire.
‡ I've recently started finding it insanely fun calling conservative folk "snowflakes" as it pisses them off to such an incredible degree
I love how mad this girl makes all the boomers and genx weirdos. It's so entertaining to me. All she has to do is exist, and the collective blood pressure of all the world's loosers rises.
Are you suggesting that in democratic countries that citizens should not have the right to free assembly? Or that active criticism of government or corporate powers should be banned?
Not only would this be a dangerous precedent that belies fascist ways of thinking, it also would then take away any legal right you likely believe the Jan. 6 insurrectionists had to free assembly. Of course in that case they were actively breaking the law by entering restricted areas, brandishing weapons, committing acts of violence... Unlike these dangerous climate protestors who were blocking a public street (clutches pearls).
It's absolutely bonkers. I met a 16 year old guy who is pretty sharp and politically active, he told me he wanted to run when he is of age to, he tried to play rope a dope with me about how the Jan 6 insurrection was a "protest" and how Trump had no culpability in fomenting the insurrection. I told him, in no uncertain terms, if you can't admit to the greatest modern threat to democracy then you should never run for political office.
All they're suggesting is that someone has told them that she is a threat to their world view for some reason and she needs to be imprisoned so they don't have to face their fragility or the consequences of their choices on the regular. This hurts the conservative.
No? That way of thinking of incredibly stupid, context is what decides if an action is justified or not. Violence is especially easy to justify, as far as unsavoury actions go.
Oh no, I can't clog the highway to go in the same exact spot as millions other people for a vacation, I will have to gasp take a walk outside and talk to people, the horror, the horror
