    But it raises the question why some paint on some big old rocks is more outrageous than anything the oil & gas lobby did in the past 50 years.

      No it really doesn’t, getting called stupid is far below the standard of even the minimal consequences oil and gas companies have faced in those 50 years. Or the public condemnation of such.

      These people are the “bUt DeMs SaMe!” of facing the consequences of their own actions. The only way you could genuinely think nothing is being done and that some forever student college kids are getting harsher treatment than the most hated companies in the world is if you’re in a position of blinding privilege that obscures the real world movement in the situation.

        There are thing done, yes, but these are too little too late and only after massive protests and public outcries for any kind of legislation to somewhat mildly stop climate change (with tummy ache).

        So on one hand we have multi millionaires and billionaires actively destroying the planet, spend decades spreading lies about it and bribing politicians (but it’s called lobbying so it’s ok)

        On the other hand we have people in their teens and 20s who throw soup at glass and paint at rocks and sit on the street.

        Guess which one goes into preventive custody and gets officially declared a suspect of extremism by German intelligence and which one every now and then has to accommodate to some laws taking effect 10 years into the future, which will most likely be abolished before then.

        I just wish it was the other way around…

          You’re just saying all this because you think anything short of guillotining them is “too little too late”, I work in renewables, I literally have a paycheck because of how flat out objectively wrong you are about almost everything you just said.

          They want you to despair and to think they’re untouchable, don’t be the idiot who actually buys what they’re selling.
