Reply to comment by memus_dankus in Hundreds of climate activists were arrested in The Hague after blocking the A12 highway in both ways on Saturday afternoon in protest at government subsidies for fossil fuels such as oil and gas by DoremusJessup

Yeah, busting into peoples houses and drag them out seems to be a thing for Americans, domestic and abroad. You say it's not as bad as terrorism but justifies similar procedures.

Come on dude, no one takes you seriously outside of the US. Blocking roads is somewhat terroristic but blowing someone's face of for being on "your" lawn or you feeling threatened is just your God given right? :D Seems like a sane approach, for sure.

I’m Dutch for the record.

And most of us are sick of people blocking our infrastructure for their protests. So don’t try to speak for us.

I’m not ok with farmers doing it and I’m not ok with climate protestors doing it. And it’s certainly not something that should be normalised.

All crimes require similar procedures. It’s the punishments that are different.

We know that you don't like that :D That's the point. Yeah yeah, people get mad about it but didn't give a single shit about all the other protests, warnings and major events that you should have cared about. You always want to ignore things so you just can live in your small world, believing that would be the solution. You thinking that blocking of the infrastructure would be problematic? Having years of drought, a dying eco-system and collapse of societal structures are kinda more devastating.

I don't need to frame you. You give away your worldview pretty easily and it's not that complex.
