Classici Stranieri

How
Greta Thunberg was arrested
and charged with a crime for a nonviolent climate defense protest.

The thug that conveyed the threat to Ms Thunberg did so in a refined
way, avoiding verbal brutality. However, the substance of the demand
supported a policy that kills a substantial number of people now,
and will kill much larger numbers in the future. The message of
the protester at the trial was right on:

Fossil fuel corporations are most responsible for the climate crisis,
and we will continue to hold them to account no matter what the state
throws at us. We have to, because nothing is worse than losing
everything.

The charge against her was later dropped on a technicality,
but the threat to repress future protests remains active.
