Been seeing these around Lausanne lately. Any clue as to who these people are?

  1. They are professional protestors. Masters in the art of whining. They love to make a lot of noise and dance like crazy hippies.

  2. Mostly unemployed who think they are saving the world by blocking other people on their way to work / home.

  3. Ehh good luck with spraypainting stuff on shit in a country with 8 million mostly environmentally conscious residents while China spews out more greenhouse gases than the rest of world combined, and India isn’t far behind.

    Yay we’re making a difference!

  4. They are asking for 3 things which are from my point of view **pretty reasonable** in face of the climate change situation:

    (1) Governments must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.

    (2) Governments must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2025.

    (3) Governments must create, and be led by the decisions of, a citizens’ assembly on climate and ecological justice.

  5. Reading these comments here and knowing that reddit has a bias towards progressives and left leaning people, paints a sad picture of switzerland.

  6. Morons that are giving themselves a good conscience by barking up the wrong tree about big principles that (1) they don’t apply to themselves, (2) they wouldn’t dare to utter in places where it could potentially trigger a change and (3) this while believing that the cause they’re defending justifies a whole range of illegal activities such as unauthorized protests, damage to property, vandalism, shoplifting, and many others.
