Reply to comment by kornmachine in Germany plans to destroy this village for a coal mine. Thousands are gathering to stop it by LaminatedDenim

It must also be said that calling this cluster of houses a village is a bit of an exaggeration. It's a hamlet (Weiler) at most

But that, in no way, changes the argument on either side. And if it took a redefinition for you to be convinced, either way, then you are missing the point.

Yes, let's all simply ignore the fact that the deal is that RWE still gets this hamlet and that instead of 2038 coal mining will end in 2030 and no 7 other villages will be destroyed either

That wasn't your statement. Whether you like the agreement or not, what is the point of distinguishing village vs hamlet? Nothing.

I just responded to a comment addressing the deal, which strangely nobody mentions, adding that the media also portrays the whole event as if it were an entire village being demolished. I honestly don't know what you want from me

Is this actually Weiler that’s being demolished or is it Lutzerath? They’re about 6 km apart. Lutzerath is/was indeed a village.
