      Unfortunately a lot of people seem to hate these kinds of protest and are probably happy they’re being locked up.

        Yes true. It’s strange isn’t it? Especially anything involving cars seems to break something in people’s brains

            I’m not sure if there are better ways to do this but I think any effective protest has to cause some disruption otherwise it’s too easily ignored.

            I’m sure most people agree governments could be doing a lot more to fight climate change, so the problem isn’t the protestors, it’s the government creating a situation where it becomes necessary. It shouldn’t be too hard to understand why jailing these people is bad.

                Damn, feels like it’s almost unavoidable to get fired at those employers then.

                Luckily in the Netherlands at least, it would be illegal to fire someone over that.
