Some people only seem interested in making others around them miserable. How they think this action will garner goodwill for their cause, I have no idea. Don’t call them activists, call them vandals and fine them accordingly.
Pathetic way to protest really. Will in no way help their cause, on the contrary..
Mensen beseffen niet dat het een klimaat noodsituatie is
“Aandacht vragen voor de bescherming van het milieu” door… bloemen te vertrappelen… Not the smartest move to make a point!
No better way to show you care about the environment than by literally trampling on flowers
Zo vandalisme is een rekensom maken en factureren.
Ik vraag me af of de uitbaters iets met vuil geld te maken hebben.
Will somebody just fuck them please
Edit: To those woke imbeciles downvoting me. This is precisely what it is; an expression of sexual frustration. Of course you’re going to fight tooth and nail to not admit it, because it’s embarassing. But deep down you know i’m right.
I can see why since wasting so much water during a heatwave isnt good but trampling on them is not gonna solve much
Wat heeft dit nu met kapitalisme te maken?
Those people is why we can’t have nice things in this world
Is there anyone at all who thinks after an action like this “these people convinced me! These are the people i want to follow!”
The water used for these flowers is peanuts compared to what is wasted regularly every day and it’s a stupid action that does nothing but anger uptight petit-bourgeois Belgians. It does nothing in the grand scheme of things. It is a symbolic display of impotence. I don’t think this action was good, but I do completely understand feeling so frustrated at everyone that you want to do something…Reading the predictable comments here I can’t help but feel we all are really so petty and near sighted. Honestly, the amount of ‘dont-look-up’ obliviousness and carelessness in our society toward our environmental problem is maddening.
And just for the record, the flower industry is not ‘nature’, it is a global multinational supply chain, and is pretty bad for the environment. Look into it. Try to buy from local growers, and try not to buy flowers shipped in from Kenia or invasive super-spreaders and whatnot. Also in winter you can buy dried flowers. People used to do this because of common sense, and these dried flowers last all winter.
my biggest issue with this: you can try and convey any message by just getting in the spotlight for 5 sec in the end by destroying sth, it feel a bit empty no? we see it everyday? you see you’re competitors walking around in a flower field? no! they were walking on the street doing work
Well, they got the attention, but I wonder if anyone in Belgium thinks that this will change peoples minds? ‘Oww no, they really mean ot this time! They trampled on our flowers!’
What’s next? Gaia taking over a McDonalds restaurant and eats its own meat to try to make us aware of the problems?
By trampling those flowers they’ve kind of wasted the water that was used for these flowers
Imagine reading ‘How to Blow Up a Pipeline’ and then seeing that flower carpet as a legitimate target that warrants escalatory tactics.
My tolerance for disruptive climate activism is fairly high, but this is simply dumb.
Put them in jail for property destruction. Make your point without violence
“We are against capitalism! Its evil! Now please listen to our lecture on why the world is better off being communist. What do you mean tens of millions of deaths, genocides and cultural oppression? Those are just lies spread by fascist capitalism”
Lol leftist intelligence
They should shut down water guzzling industry if they wanted to make a point
Dus als die planten slecht voor het klimaat zijn, dan zouden we eigenlijk ook geen groenten meer moeten eten
Daar heb je de marginale “activisten” weer 🙄
The 2018 protest was better, at least we got to see them naked..,
