    She’s not wrong. It’s insane that we’re still burning coal and oil.

    The moral and ethical thing to do. Brave of her to stand for the survival of our ecosystem, even if it means facing arrest.

    good, she’s testing the legal system so others know what punishment they’ll face for protesting, we already know that the first offence is likely to only result in a middling fine and here’s hoping that’s all the courts continue with.

      Also she’s a public figure now, so they can’t treat her too terribly. Which means that if they treat others unfairly for the same thing, it could raise hell.

      I mean, most countries are guilty of that right now, and I feel like a $200 fine for this is on the lower side (in comparison to other countries) of punishment.

      Tbh I saw the streaming of when she appeared on that new extension on land that they were planning in Germany to mine more coal, were there were activists on tress with zip lines to go from tree to tree. And like the police I think stopped so they took pictures and all that… so it’s not a normal detention that’s for sure as they know it wouldn’t look good…

      But maybe I misremembering tbh.

      Looks like they’re banned or something now. I didn’t block them, but the comments are all gone on my end, now.

      Yeah, there are a bunch of people who spend their time searching for her name so that they can troll

        I banned some of the trolls, and wiped their comments. Lemmy hides the rest of the thread when I do that.

        I’m in the same boat, because it says 32 but I only see 16. Which is amusing because I’ve only blocked like two non-bots, both of which for previously trolling. Some people need to get a life lol.

        That’s not going to happen when we have people paid to generate disinformation.

      You may disagree with her methods (as do I at times), but few (mostly climate change deniers) would disagree with her goals. She’s spending her life trying to improve the future of the all humankind.

        Whenever I see people complain about protest methods, it reminds me of this quote:

        First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

        –Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963 in a jail cell in Birmingham Alabama.

        It’s really close to abuse how her parents are using her and thrusting her into this. Imo

        She should get an education and go into politics instead of doing meaningless publicity stunts. She’s just an attention seeker.

      She’s on the side of life. It would have been better to have left a world to inherit where the young don’t have to go to this extreme. But here we are.

      She’s trying to. We are trying really hard to make sure nobody can live on the earth. If we took climate change seriously, we would all be doing something similar.

      That seems extreme. I’m not seeing any murder or severe endangerment of others unless I’m missing something…
