Huh, up to 10 years for disruptive protest? Looks like it’s only 8 years for a planned arson as long as you don’t hurt anyone.

In minecraft, that might send the wrong message.

Eh, I’m sure that my FBI guy and my Met guy have coffee together anyway.

This is just one of countless examples that we live in capitalist plutocracies — ruled by corporations and the richest family dynasties who make up their majority shareholders — masquerading as “democracies”. Sure, you can vote, but your only options are pre-approved.

When the people causing genocide, war, and ecocide are untouchable, their entire rule of law is invalid.

I would be more likely to sympathize with JSO if they engaged in direct action against the oil industry instead of the general public. Stopping ambulances and electric cars in traffic does not get the world to abandon oil.

If you’re going to commit a criminal offense regardless, at least target something that actively supports or benefits from the oil industry. They could go full Robin Hood, robbing businesses that support the oil industry and anonymously donating the proceeds to environmental causes. They could threaten car dealerships that sell ICE vehicles. While it is certainly illegal to burn down a gas station, at least that would be an attack on the object of their protests rather than the general public.

Nothing wrong with their stated cause, but their actions don’t support that cause.

Evidence suggests that disruptive protests actually help, rather than hinder organisations like JSO:

It’s all about raising awareness and facilitating discussions.

I wonder if they understand what they’re encouraging by making the punishment for protests harsher than the punishments for direct action…not that that’s any of my business…
