    The street gluers must be paid crisis actors (just like the GOP projects) to make climate activism seem like a bunch of crazy people.

      I’ve spent enough time around wannabe revolutionaries to think most of those people are honest and really believe impeding some poor people from going to work will help make the masses adopt their cause.

      It does help their belief system that they and most of the people around them were convinced by some asshole doing something similar.

        They’re are always some true believers. Flat Earth used to be trolls until the OGs got bored and moved on leaving only the believers behind.

        The best astroturf is the one that starts growing on its own.

      As far as the ones in Germany go, largely they don’t seem to be. They are really that stupid. Even when they try to target the right people they fuck it up. It is fun to watch however. Some hilarious stories and little to no success have come out of it.
