You may be preaching to the choir. This year in Europe more than 50 percent of the newly bought cars were SUVs. To me that feels that most people do not care, they just want to enjoy themselves as much as possible before total collapse. Protest ? Three states in the USA recently banned protesting. In Europe with far right winning about everywhere will likely go the same direction. It is obvious in the news headlines. Fascism is on the rise and the masses do not seem to care about a burning planet and killing of everything but themselves.
If I'm thinking about the right laws, don't they more specifically make whoever is running the protest responsible for damages or crimes done by members of the protest if said members cannot be identified?
Evil triumphs when good people do nothing, but there are more good people than evil.
The trouble is, evil is great at rallying evil and demoralising good. That's why we have to fight back.
Positive change is possible if we work together.
