@pmeyfroidt @JacquelynGill @davidho At this point it's either blocking roads or doing a terrorism. Activists have tried literally everything else. The reason you haven't heard of them doing whatever you think would be less inconvenient to the general public is that nobody cared when they did it.

@alan @pmeyfroidt @JacquelynGill @davidho so when this approach also does not work (and why would it), will terrorism become acceptable?

The problem is by no means that people don't know about the climate crisis or the protests (FFF anyone?). The problem is that they don't care enough to vote for politicians that care enough. Alienating them further brings the risk of even more short-sighted decisions.

@creepy_owlet @pmeyfroidt @JacquelynGill @davidho If every peaceful option is exhausted and has either proven ineffective or been met with excessive violence, what do you propose? Doing what you already know not to work? Laying down to die? I'm not saying I want political violence. I'm saying eventually political violence will be the only option left on the table. In Germany the media has already taken to referring to nonviolent activists as "climate terrorists" and public opinion is being shaped towards criminalizing all protest.
