So you aren't that dedicated to the cause then if it's too inconvenient for you.much, much harder to get to those people and a much higher chance of being harshly prosecuted considering their connections. it's more petty to target less powerful people, of course, but I think the consideration on the activist's part is more practical than strategic
That was my assumption as well. Why send a real message when there are potentially cameras and security involved, when being a coward is easier.much, much harder to get to those people and a much higher chance of being harshly prosecuted considering their connections. it's more petty to target less powerful people, of course, but I think the consideration on the activist's part is more practical than strategic
Exactly. As evidenced by their leaflet: "driving a hybrid or EV? Fuck you regardless!"That would actually require some effort so they'd rather take the easy way and fuck over normal people to prove moral superiority.
In case you haven't seen it, this is what gets left on your windscreen after your tires are let down. Note that they're also going after Hybrids and EVs because why not eh?

Civil disobedience is supposed to entail understanding you'll be prosecuted.much, much harder to get to those people and a much higher chance of being harshly prosecuted considering their connections. it's more petty to target less powerful people, of course, but I think the consideration on the activist's part is more practical than strategic
Why do that when you can sneak around like Snidely Whiplash, sabotaging tires in the dead of night and sneaking off into the bushes undetected?Civil disobedience is supposed to entail understanding you'll be prosecuted.
That's why it's called civil disobedience
Oh - you'll love this. They're against electric and hybrids as well.Fuck them. I'm sure they made sure to check that these weren't electric or hybrid SUVs before they did this. 🙄
All the "SUV COPE LOL" are straight up projections.
This definitely isn't the left. These are assholes that cozy up and pretend to be left so they can feel a sense of community while doing this idiotic shit.

No it's cowardice not to go for those most responsible. Would be bigger if they went after high profile targets.much, much harder to get to those people and a much higher chance of being harshly prosecuted considering their connections. it's more petty to target less powerful people, of course, but I think the consideration on the activist's part is more practical than strategic
Hey I'm not the one who donated money to the NRA.You know that's incorrect, right? But if you want to talk about it, go ahead and quote me. Don't piggy back off comments like a coward. Fuck your purity test. Sorry I failed it at some point.
And people in this thread are actually defending this? Given they are also against hybrids and electric cars, you can't even say that they have any coherent environmental goals. Why are people in here defending this incoherent, self-righteous bullshit?In case you haven't seen it, this is what gets left on your windscreen after your tires are let down. Note that they're also going after Hybrids and EVs because why not eh?
There are already massive highway-halting human chain protests in the UK numerous times over the past two yearsI was just reading a piece about the rise and fall of ELF and "direct action" environmental terrorism, and I think we're going to see a new resurgence of that in the next couple of decades
Very, very frequently.Are SUVs in Edinburgh also primarily used purchased by mothers who see their size as useful for transporting groceries and children?
There was a time where I secretly enjoyed these threads because they made mass ignoring assholes easy. But they're reaching the point where I just cannot imagine how some of you function on a daily basis. Some of these responses are just fucking staggering.
What bullshit is this? I know Mammoth Jones enough from his posts to know what you're implying and you're just being an asshole while simultaneously being totally wrong.
So you're now saying you've never joined NRA or donated to them when you've said those things to taunt people in mass shooting threads. Ok, it's your words against your words. I wouldn't call them a momentary lapse of good morals, so excuse me for not taking you bemoaning "the left" seriously.Technically, neither did I. See, if you gonna bring up my posting history from the other site (what, five plus fucking years and you still trying to hold onto this, lol.) at least have the decency to do your due diligence.
Sorry I failed your purity test a decade ago. But if you wanna keep fucking that chicken, do me a favor…send me a private message you wanna keep trying to make this about my post history. Stop shitting up the thread with the fuck shit.
Oh yea, fucking with people's tires is shitty.

Neat. SUVs are bad and the people driving them should feel bad. Don't @ me :D
Well shit. Don't see what this accomplished.Rich people who own a Skoda Yeti that does 50mpg and is smaller than some normal cars apparently.
There was a doctor on call who had their tyres slashed.
Anyway I'm all in favour of banning oversized and gas guzzling cars from cities (and that includes oversized EVs) unless there is a good reason (ie for disabled people), but I think there are better ways of protesting. Much the same as my feelings on the Insulate Britain protests, well intentioned but often targeting the wrong people.
It's be fine if hybrid or electric. Old school V8s gotta go.Tyre Extinguishers ‘disarm’ 100 Edinburgh 4x4s in one night
A spokesperson said the “scale of disarmament” is an underestimate, as not all Tyre Extinguisher groups have been in touchwww.google.com
Isn't time SUVs get banned? They are by far the worst method of transport for harmful pollution yet continue to sell more and more. For people in public office to talk about greener cities yet they seem to have no issues with more and more SUVs on the roads is ridiculous.
They did this to EVs and hybrids too lol.
