Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

Let me get this straight:

  • Destroying the planet for profit: LEGAL
  • Peacefully suggesting they shouldn't: ILLEGAL

The law has nothing to do with morality, no matter what anyone tells you.

Disobeying the foot soldiers of capital is a core tenet of climate protesting. This is akin to charging a band for making noise.

Harriet Tubman was also a criminal. Just about every single hero was technically a criminal.

I'm sure if Harriet Tubman was active today, she would be facing the same sort of bullshit as Greta. Probably worse thanks to her complexion.

her punishment was a 2500 SEK fine? They've just told the entire country that we can pay the equivalent of a new bicycle to block oil tankers, this is amazing.

We did it, we arrested climate change!

Sounds like a South Park episode

Leave it to our moronic governments to blame the people for climate change then punish them for protesting against the horrors of climate change. The rich think they'll go into their cute little bunkers to wait it out, like we won't eat them or something.
