        “a protest against Dutch subsidies and tax breaks to companies linked to fossil fuel industries”

        We can do all the activities you mention with a much lower impact. And fighting climate change allows many farmers in developing countries to actually survive. (Think of the problems with cocoa harvests failing or with Mongolian herders losing herds three years in a row instead of once a decade.)

        Ranching and fishing, yes. But considering that worldwide more than 70% of agriculture is used to support ranching, it definitely seems that ranching is reducing the amount of food worldwide, not increasing it.

        Edit: Also should mention, generally when climate activists talk about drastically cutting down or outright ending ranching, that’s for the developed world, where healthy alternatives exist. Nobody sane is talking about going and taking the dairy cows off of Indian villagers who depend on it for survival.

        Also, we have destroyed the global aquaculture with overfishing.

          The person you are responding to is not arguing in good faith. I was going to say don’t feed the troll but maybe it’s better to refute the BS so unsuspecting people don’t read them thinking they are correct.

            Absolutely. I think it’s better to refute than to ignore (within reason) for people reading through the thread. Not for the benefit of the troll.

                Lactose intolerance gives me little other choice (doesn’t always stop me when it comes to cheese tho) 😅 oat milk is delicious but doesn’t always work for cooking purposes, almonds are atrocious as far as sustainability goes.

          I think people are just nervous they’ll click and get some crazy climate denying stuff or something especially with all the hate she gets. The YouTube recommendations go nuts if you watch even a single video on something. Risky click. Excellent science based video you posted there though. A /s would’ve saved on the down votes if you care.

      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.
