Simon Lachner had plans to glue himself to a German city thoroughfare in June to call public attention to climate change. Instead, he ended up in police custody before he'd even left his home.

    Cracks down on climate polluters? Right? Right?!.. Nope, fuck these activists ringing the alarm for the planet we’re actively destroying. I did NOT consent to being born into this shitstain of a society, take me back to the void.

    Too bad the police and politicians do not recognise the threat that the warming climate is bringing. Now they’re just locking up the messenger, equivalent to putting fingers in your ears. And then getting angry when concerned people take those fingers out. Hopefully this protest movement will grow, so that their voice can no longer be neglected.

    Nothing is happening. There is absolutely no reason to change anything. Now go back to work.

    So France and Germany is what Americans think of “Europe”? Hint: there are a few more countries in there.

      No, but they certainly are a big chunk of it. Don’t get so bent about being one of the smaller players. At least your cops haven’t started hacking your phones just cause, right?
