A few days ago, the Volcano Group (Vulkangruppe) sabotage power supply to Tesla's Berlin Gigafactory. Looking at a few of the pictures posted on the internet, they did so by setting fire to the underground cables on a terminal pole, where the powerlines transition from overhead to underground. When the fire burnt through the outer insulation, the cables failed. Taking power supply out to the Tesla Factory, a local hospital (halting medical procedures), supermarket, and quite a few thousand local residents.
 So, why this mindless sabotage? A difficult question to answer given the anarchist mindset of certain Green extremists. But apparently it was in protest about Tesla proposed plans to expand their factory (and resume some new growth forest), Tesla's water consumption, and unproven complaints that Tesla's factory is contaminating the local water supply. There is an unaligned protest group camped out in the nearby forest to "prevent" Tesla expanding.  Apparently, we cannot have an SUV. Nor can we have any ICE. And now, we cannot even have an electric vehicle. Go figure. Full news article from DW here ... https://www.dw.com/en/germany-sabota...ers/a-68467844 |

Maybe they are secret ICE enthusiasts?

There's no such thing as a green anarchist, only a communist wearing a green suit.

 Seriously though when are we going to treat these eco terrorists like normal terrorists? I don't mind protesting but when you start vandalising things and preventing business from operating you've crossed a line. Around the corner from work there's a heat treating business in the industrial estate which does some stuff for the IDF and every week they've been getting their building vandalised, at one point people invaded the offices and got on the roof of the workshop, did the police do anything about it? Of course not. It's pink haired communists from Brunswick cosplaying as Palestinians, they need to be beaten with the 1995 edition of the yellow pages. |

Social media has made the whole world go nuts.
So many people with such small narrow minds fixated on stupid things. It is call the Echo Chamber Effect and is something to be aware of and not fall in to. An echo chamber is a group in which users' opinions, political leanings, or beliefs about a topic are reinforced by repeated interactions with peers with similar tendencies and attitudes, and they tend to gravitate toward information that supports their beliefs and join in around a common discussion. Social Media using AI is designed to keep you engaged on the platform for as long as possible, so what does it do, present you with your more of your fixation, so it is a downward spiral into what you now see happening everywhere.
