Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
I don’t really have a take on this.
It’s interesting news, but I can’t think of a take.
The co-founder of extremist climate activist groups Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion has been given a lengthy prison sentence alongside four other eco-warriors over highway disruptions in England.
One of Britain’s most radical environmentalist activists, Roger Hallam was found guilty of conspiring to block traffic over Just Stop Oil’s four days of blocking the M25 highway in 2022.
Hallam, the co-founder of Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil was given a record five-year prison sentence on Thursday after a judge determined that he had “crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic,” The Telegraph reports.
Four other green warriors, Cressida Gethin, 22, Daniel Shaw, 38, Louise Lancaster, 58, Lucia Whittaker De Abreu, 35, were each given four-year sentences.
Prosecutors told the court that the series of highway disruptions cost the Metropolitan Police over £1.1 million and had an economic cost of at least £765,000, Sky News reports.
The court also heard that the disruptions from the Just Stop Oil activists had impacted over 700,000 vehicles, causing over 50,000 hours of traffic delays, and had left the M25 motorway “compromised” for more than 120 hours.
Trying my hardest to think of a take: blocking roads makes global warming gibberish less popular?
I remember the first “Jews for Gaza” group appeared and the first thing they did was block a road. None of the other protesters had done that, because it’s just so obvious that this inspires nothing but hate. I guess it’s a form of “nonviolent terrorism” (to coin a phrase), but it’s not real terrorism. Like you don’t say “okay, okay – we concede” in the way there were calls to pull French troops from Syria after someone did a truck of peace in 2015 or whenever that happened.
No one is held up in traffic while they’re trying to get to work or pick their kids up from school and says “wow, I should support the cause of the people blocking this road.”
So, I mean, honestly… I wouldn’t be surprised if oil companies were funding this sort of thing as a kind of false flag, in the same way I wasn’t surprised when the “Jews for Gaza” group started blocking roads.
Literally no one on earth likes this.
Conversely, if you protest against politicians, basically the opposite thing happens, where people are like “yeah, fuck the government! I hate those people! Good job hassling them!”
