Bloody, violent revolution 🙌
Bloody, violent revolution 🙌
This document has at the very least value as an historical artefact regardless of how broken our current system of democracy is. Destroying it just turns more people against their cause. I understand they’re making a point about how the majority will not vote for policies which help the environment. Democracy is fundamental to creating a society where people have a say in how politics is done. Are you suggesting the government should push through policies that the majority are against? Even if they did they’d risk losing the next election. Or are you suggesting we get rid of democracy altogether? I’m not sure an autocracy would be a good thing overall even if they were working to improve the environment. Ultimately the issue is that the majority of people prioritise their current lifestyle over sustaining the environment. Enforcing policies which the majority are against isn’t really a healthy solution to this. If JSO want to change people’s minds, maybe focusing on educating people and non harmful protests would go a lot further than vandalising stuff and causing disruption.
What do stunts like this really achieve? Do they prove Farage wrong or show his followers why he’s so problematic? When someone resorts to violence to make a point it devalues everything they are making a stand for. It says “I couldn’t explain what’s wrong with this persons politics so I just threw something at them instead”
