“As ministers warn us of overflowing prisons, we have seen the number of nonviolent political prisoners imprisoned for taking action on the climate, rise to 21 in recent days. The state will always find space to imprison those who threaten the interests of fossil capital, whilst releasing violent offenders to make room. This demonstrates where their priorities lie.
However, in doing so, those who are incarcerating the people raising the alarm about the catastrophic threats humanity faces, are demonstrating their ignorance of the mechanics of social change. Those who study history will tell you that where you imprison one for demanding necessary change, ten will take their place." -

You mean like the peaceful protesters on Jan 6th who are still rotting in maximum security prison cells with no trial after 4 years? We sure didn't see you up on your pulpit about that, eh? Proves what a fake champion for freedom that you really are. -

2024-08-03 at 10:21 PM UTCA protest being nonviolent does not mean a protest is legal. If you commit nonviolent crimes as an act of protest, then you should be prepared to face the consequences for having committed those crimes. I'm fine with allowing activists to engage in criminal activity for their beliefs, as long is there is an understanding by all parties that they will be made martyrs for their criminality.
They should be in jail. You should keep crying about it. This is how it works. -
