Australia leads the world in arresting climate and environment protesters
A new study shows more than 20 per cent of climate and environment protests in Australia lead to arrests, more than in the UK, Norway, and the United States.
The anti-protestor laws have made it a necessity for arrests in order to have anything remotely resembling a successful protest. Our right and civil duty to protest has been criminalised, and the fucking pigs are complicit.
Police are the honour guard of the climate apocalypse.
Look. If there's anything damaging the environment, we'll just tow it out of the environment...
More seriously. Given our current NZ government's attitudes, I fear a similar pattern to emerge here.
WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE NUMBER ONE!
Gets arrested for protesting*
How long is jail time of protesting vs murder?
THIS IS THE QUESTION
That's okay, when climate change turns Australia into Mad Max, us Americans will be over here in our christofascist hellscape drying from measles and paying for the privilege, so we won't notice.
What, you expected there to be a bright side? Dafuq cloud is your head in?
You didn't protest hard enough when they took away our right to protest. sucks to suck.
will target "anarchist protesters"
we don't fucking protest. anti-protester legislation is only targeting people who still think the state can be reasoned with.
Keep rolling that dice. Please.
Australia isn't real
As an Australian, I can confidently tell you, as a matter of fact, that I'm a paid actor, who lives in some kind of amorphous aether between the mesosphere and troposphere.
I'm surprised we get internet up here.
I hope you get paid well since it sounds like a tough job!!
I could’ve sworn I literally saw an article like a week ago saying it was the UK
