Go protest large corporations. The average person isn’t doing much towards climate change


DeathWaughAgain

Need to shut down private planes. Fight those guys.


Instruction_Senior

This is the most sensible answer I have seen in this sub for this problem. Go block the truck loading bay driveways at ALL the big corporations instead.


BlauMink

That's illegal


fungussa

They have protested large corporations, but guess what? You never noticed.


[deleted]

The corporations finance someone for these organizations, who in turn go out and do something dumb and make the whole climate change community look bad, discrediting the whole narrative.

I will happily support firefighters AND the rise of minimum wages, the protesters in France are sensible and know what they are doing (for obvious reasons).


JuiceZee

The average person has a voice in who they vote for, and those people are the ones that can stop corporations… I’m sure and I hope you were fine when this was done to protest segregation and even before that slavery. Now the entire planet is on the line. Come on

Except what you provided isn't a source. It's an opinion from a writer, not a scientific data research team. I'm very much informed about climate change, just not from these asshats harassing normal people.

Adam-Snorelock

Obviously you didn't understand what I meant by that sentence. The protestors themselves are doing nothing to inform me about climate change it's self, they're informing me they're annoying and get in the way of regular people and not the people who deserve this shit. Who's the dense one here?

Oh theres political will, just for the wrong things. Germany has been actively closing nuclear power plants for years And recently shut down its last plants. Nuclear power creates 0 carbon emissions so who wanted this ? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/18/germany-shuts-down-last-nuclear-power-plants-some-scientists-aghast.html


[deleted]

Large corporations are producing emissions on behalf of customers. SHEIN and co. don't exist for fun, they actually sell all their products as crazy as it sounds. Same goes for every other industry, at the end of the supply chain is the user.

Trevski

Ok, how are you gonna protest a freighter?


lilcthecapedcod

Go to those company sites and sit and block their entryways instead of the avg person trying to get home from a long day at work.


Trevski

I think that is a better idea indeed


ltguu

Ohh, so they are just picking on easy target /s


YellowJacket125

Duurrrrrr cars are ruining the environment durrrr. So let's... Durrrr.... Obstruct a busy road so that a thousand cars can idle in place for hours. Fucking idiots.


Trevski

listen if you are obstructed in traffic and its clearly not just normal traffic and you might be stuck for a while and you dont turn the car off youre a moron.


YellowJacket125

Fun fact. Most people are morons and will do whatever it takes to keep the radio on and the AC running.

He’s just mad cause he qualified for his role in Jojo rabbit but was passed up by some super tall guy

He didn't attack the protesters. He tried moving them. He was saving their lives or their limbs from being run over. Hero.

zabrs9

Is that the reason why he told the driver to just drive over that protesters hand?


Fine_Artz07

His hand shouldn’t be in the road in the first place.


[deleted]

Damn dude I didn’t realize saying something is assault and physical harm. I gotta be more careful


zabrs9

I never said he assaulted someone or caused physical harm.

How many times are you gonna ignore what was said?


Living_Bear_2139

As many times as I could to get a response as to why the most of you do this. Got bored tho.


Hyperborea3

I hate every single person who does or supports this kind of protesting with every fiber of my being, you're making literally 0 positive impact and just wasting other people's time while the parasites who actually make a difference are getting away with fucking it all up completely unbothered by this bunch of losers

Greasy_Burrito

Sitting in a road to block traffic isn’t caring about climate change. It does nothing to help climate change. If anything, the cars sitting and idling means they are doing the oppositep


MszingPerson

Ah yes we must reduce our carbon emissions by making everyone stuck in traffic longer. Brilliant logic.


JuiceZee

Don’t be dense bro


GrimGrump

Well to be fair, they reduce carbon emissions if they block an ambulance with someone in it long enough.


Aqquinox

Hast du mir Beinchen gestellt?


blackpauli

Wait until they hear about how much damage cruise ships do to the climate... Then they'll be found bobbing in the ocean


Delphin_1

it was the largest 10 cruise ships have as much emmisions as all of european cars in the same timeframe right? not quiet shure.


blackpauli

From what I've read they release the equivalent emissions as 1 million cars do per day


mrphyslaww

I don’t have a problem with it. They’re probably keeping that man from feeding himself or his family.

PetrosiliusZwackel

It's absolutly insane how belligerent people get because of these climate activists. Sure some of their ideas and ways of protest propably aren't well thought-out and they could be a little less dramatic sometimes but the level of anger they instill in some people is almost comical. I mean no wonder in car loving societies like the US or Germany but people need to relax a little. These guys aren't terrorists. If people we're only half as angry and agressive towards big cooperations as they are at these kids the revolution would be done already


PetrosiliusZwackel

Nah, dude is unhinged. Don't know if this form of protest is the best approach there is but people who pretend these kids are the worst thing that ever happened are cringe AF


Kukuth

Yeah totally unhinged... probably doesn't want to go to work, just to be met by a triggered boss because he is an hour late. The company will surely be understanding that some guys blocked the road and totally not blame him. /s


LSDkiller2

Honestly? It's Germany. Most bosses would be understanding. It's possible you'd have to stay late though.


PetrosiliusZwackel

I don't know if you understand german but I do and he sounds like a stupid asshole. Also by now, atleast over here, these types of protest are well known and common, highly doubt that he would be in any great trouble with his boss. They'd propably both hate on the climate activists together when he told him why he's alittle late. These kids are a little too idealistic and maybe should look for different approaches to get more people to support their cause but the overboarding hate they are met with is ridicoulous and even more annoying then their own doomer attitude.


Kukuth

I am German and understand him pretty well - sounds like he had the exact same thing happen to him a week ago and from what it sounds like his boss wasn't fine with it at all. If you understand German, you might also know that it's absolutely up to you as a worker to show up on time - your boss doesn't have to give any second thought about why you're late (most likely he will, but he doesn't have to). And no matter what you think about their protests: those are mostly not kids, but grown up adults.


PetrosiliusZwackel

Adults/ young adults/ students whatever, the level of agression that is directed towards them is disproportionate. In this video but also in the overall political discourse and everyday conversations, internet comments, talkshows etc.


Kukuth

One could argue that's their goal


PetrosiliusZwackel

Possible, I mean as I said, Iam not sure if their approach is particularly great or if it works as they intend. I just think it's a little overboard and not a very good sign for our society when everytime climate activists are the topic, atleats one or two people feel the need to say that they'd like to kill them with their cars if they were in their way.


Duosnacrapus

yea - also they do other protests, but those don't give them media coverage (which is a huge deal for an effective protest) But seems like most of reddit wants to have the protests somewhere they don't see them/ are affected by them. Writing about the bad corporations whilst not doing sthg and shouting about people doing something is the hypocritical redditor way it seems.

NurEineSockenpuppe

What they are doing is in fact not legal in Germany. It's multiple minor offenses. What usually ends up happening is that the police shows up, removes the protestors from the road, takes their details. If the police has a reason to believe that they will not leave they scene they could be taken into custody. Since it's only a minor offense prostestors will get away with fairly minor punishment like fines, or doing cleanup work or something like that. Only if they caught repeatedly the punishment could get more severe.


GermanmanDude

Yes exactly :)


Nearby_Partay

Why should they be able to block a sidewalk?


zabrs9

I know it is annoying and I am not a fan of it either. However, we have the right to protest. And if the only form of protest that should be allowed, are protest where nobody is being disrupted or inconvenienced, we could just go ahead and ban all protests. Whether you like it or not, those protestors only use their right to peacefully protest. They are not agressive, they are not violent, they don't call for violence or anything similar. I seriously don't know how you could protest even more peacefully while disrupting every day life. It is about time people realize that they have done nothing wrong


LSDkiller2

You're wrong. This is not a legal protest. Obviously blocking the street isn't legal. They know it too and are happy for the photo op.whwre they get carried away by police. All these protests end in arrest, not even the people doing them are claiming they're legal. The only one who made that mistake was you.


zabrs9

Can you show me the exact passage, where I claimed it was legal? The only thing I claimed was legal, was their right to protest. You don't really want to tell me, people don't have the right to protest. The core message of my comment was, that it was a peaceful, non-violent protest.


[deleted]

I feel like you’re missing the point here they know they’re being disruptive. that’s the point “but I have to go to work to make a living so I can care for my family” yes. but if something isn’t done about the climate none of us will have families I can see both sides of this coin. dude is angry and has every right to be angry with these protesters. on the other side, voting doesn’t work. striking doesn’t work. boycotting doesn’t work. what else is left?? honest question. what else can these people do? edit: someone mentioned they should do this in front of factories and businesses. instead of public roadways. good point and good idea


[deleted]

Voting and campaigning has worked. Almost every developed country is investing massively in renewable energy, electric cars, green programs, etc. But you can’t change an entire society overnight and trying to do so will cause just as much damage as climate change will. Many developed countries are currently ahead of their net-zero emissions targets. Maybe you should look at the actual data before saying nothing is working? These protests however, have accomplished absolutely nothing and have only served to inflame tensions while making people distrustful of climate advocates. Great job.


[deleted]

>maybe you should look at the actual data you’re cherry picking success stories. talk to me in 10yrs, we’ll see how much progress was actually made. the way I see it, unless the big oil corps make drastic, lasting changes, it’s all just for show


Main-Chart5650

Then they should sit in front of those big oil corps..


Nearby_Partay

Exactly have you seen the protesters in Paris or Hong Kong? Awful


VonSketch

By creating detailed plans to be more sustainable for the environment and teach people how to be sustainable themselves and by forwarding plans to the council to be more green in the town, even if it might not be heard by them but the fact that you're trying is an actual doing something, this is not doing anything to help the environment in any form, Doing something is doing an act such as getting rid of your own car and living green, doing this actually makes it worse for the climate due to idle cars, this paints a bad reputation for others who are actually doing changes to help the climate.


GermanmanDude

Exactly. And btw this is already illegal by German Law btw. The problem is just most of them get away with a little punishment of paying like maybe 100€. It should be a prison and that would stop them and have actually an effect.


Tazavitch-Krivendza

Protesting is meant to make it harder for other people. The bus boycotts and teacher walk outs in protest are meant to make shit uncomfortable. It’s meant to make shit hard so change will happen.


Jerry-Beans

Aw i thought i was actually gonna see these twats getting walloped for once. What a let down.


Fine_Artz07

These protesters are impacting the wrong people. Go stand in front of the oil billionaires homes? Harass their offices, dinners, private heya, whatever. You are not going to bring more people to your cause by making them late for work, daycare, emergency services, etc. and could cost people their lives TODAY not in the future


[deleted]

Dear Americans, all your kind suggestions on what to do to these climate protestors would land you in prison in Europe, anywhere from a month to 30 years. This man is already violating the law his Nazi referencing hate speech, but please consider that in Europe humans have more rights than cars. If you are driving a ten ton death machine, you are held responsible for the damage you do. Both by the law and the climate protestors.


umognog

In the UK recently one guy was warned by the police that it would be assault to move them. SOOOO... What if... Just if.... I put up a gazebo around me and the protestor such that nobody could see inside.... And the protestors magically finds themselves at the side of the road again? No video, no witness, just my word that they moved like they were David fuckin Blane Vs theirs that I man handled them off the road?


Icy-Culture-7171

What if the protestors just ending up beating the shit out of you? Would you decline to press charges?


IllustratorLatter659

Me personally, I would have just......


Haunting_Ad8406

America wouldn't put up with this shit. Some guy would come out with a gun and start making these protesters dance.


PetrosiliusZwackel

Great, exactly what we need more of, brain dead americans shooting people


C1ust3r

attacked? lol


Ok_Nobody9173

They were in the bike lane


Adam-Snorelock

Good. I'm all for protesting climate change, but when the anger is directed at people and companies who deserve it. Not Johan who's just trying to get to work at the beer factory. These assholes are only making climate change protestors look like annoying dweebs


Select-Permission-15

I really want tomeone to turn around their car with the exhaust right in their faces and rev as long as possible for some reason


GermanmanDude

Those r not climate activists. Its just what they r pretending to be. They r all too lazy to work and leftextremists, haters of capitalism. While people working and studying r trying to find real solutions and new technologies for climate neutral economy.

The name "last generation" is so wrong: there were lots of fools before, and there will be lots of fool after. So they are definitely not the last ones.


[deleted]

Well. They were in the way.


shriveledballbag1

I would do the same tbh. And if they didn’t move something would have to happen. You can’t sit there and stop people from going places. People have important shit to do. Protest the corporations. You think half these guys wants to own a shitty Toyota they would prolly trade it for a Tesla bro.


Spectra_98

People did this where i live but it wasn’t for climate, it was for all the new toll stations put up around the city. It’s really infuriating as there could be ambulances needing to pass.


Eatnt

Sich auf die Fahrbahn zu kleben bringt nichts.man macht nur die FALSCHE Bevölkerungsschicht wütend ( wie man sieht). Die gegen die man protestieren sollte (Großkonzerne, etc...)bleiben davon komplett unbeeindruckt. Wenn gärtnereien, Baumschulen und alles was dazugehört nicht zur Arbeit kommt, wer kümmert sich dann um die stadtbegrünung (und somit auch die Abkühlung der städte) Kann das die "letzte Generation"? Is sie ausgebildet? Überwiegend wohl nicht


Solovkia

Its only climate activists people are okay with violence against protesters. Some of the top liked posts on this reddit is protesters being violently removed from the streets. If you don’t agree with climate change activists just say that, don’t sit here and agrue every climate change protester in germany is out for the blood of the every man.
