Fascism pretty much. It’s what any capitalist economy resorts to when it’s about to collapse.
This is only the beginning. Eventually they’ll resort to returning to slavery, or quasi-slavery to keep the economy going and then… collapse.
It’s unironically proof of how deeply climate collapse is affecting humanity. The fact that they’re openly honest about the fact that this is meant to intimidate people into not protesting is all you need to know.

Remarks on the first anniversary of the Alliance for Progress, 13 March 1962
In 1962 there were no “lethal autonomous weapons”.
We all know what happens when you’re not even allowed to protest for your grievances
The amount of obnoxious “But they’re holding up traffic!” “But they’re inconveniencing me!” as reasons for why they’re against these protests makes it clear to me how much of humanity is a lost cause.
How did we go from disruptive protests bringing about civil rights and a better standard of living for people in the modern era, to this?
Plot twist: We didn’t. It’s just not a protest in favor of fascist beliefs.
The trucker protest didn’t get nuked by the same fucks who argue “but muh traffic” logic everytime Just Stop Oil shows up.
Just Stop Oil causing minor disruptions in traffic = evil bad and “i have to get to work.”
Fascist Truckers literally causing gridlock and constant noise disturbances for days on end = “BASED BASED BASED, LGB! WOOOOOOOOOOO”
Yeah, sure. Disruptive protests are only okay when they threaten to overturn an election or furthering some other fascist goal. But keeping us all from frying? “I HAVE TO GET TO WORK!!”
Uh huh. Nah, if someone disrupts traffic and makes me late to work. I’m taking video, and keeping that for my excuse to being late to work.
If you’re having an issue with being late to work, because you will lack hours, maybe you and a group of your fellow workers might get an idea from this little incident. Where you maybe could, hmm i dunno, form a disruptive group that goes on strike and negotiates for better wages and terms of employment.
I’m all for enviromentalism, but these clowns are menace to the society.
Oh no they were inconvenient and annoying, exactly as intended! It’s almost like they were protesting something!
Meanwhile I’m wondering why ecoterrorism isn’t more popular. Not saying I support it (or saying I don’t), I am just surprised that there are less desperate people than I expected.
Apparently a common career for ex-soldiers and special forces is security for oil companies. So they’re clearly surprised too.
Only a matter of time at this point, I suspect.
Go to the Middle East to liberate petrol, come back home to work for the same companies without a proxy!
My biggest concern with ecoterrorism is that a lot of things that should be destroyed, if not done so in a safe way, may end up having worse environmental impacts than if they were left alone.
i think eco terrorism will be mostly focused sabotage. all eco terrorist need to do is stop production of refined goods, supply line being global, sabotaging some unprotected factory in bangladesh that is the only one that produces a specific component could stop production of some given product globally.
“I’m all for this thing, but fuck the people supporting this thing.”

Please do, also screenshot this as the comment which made you do it
