in Holland we've seen environmental protests taking extreme forms while not being condemned as extreme. They're being discussed as "people who have concerns" while other groups aren't portrayed like that.
Also, a protester was invited to a popular mainstream talkshow and glued himself to the table (which was easily undone afterwards). Other protesting figures for other means, with a reasonable following, and never calling for arms (while being protrayed in msm to do just that), don't even get a seat on that "talkshow".
Also e.g. A protest organized by 'extinction rebellion' was able to seige a runway at an airport. imo, it's unthinkable for a random group to do that unless there's inside support. In my opionion millitary police would have intervened before they would be able to block the runway with those numbers.
I'll read the article!
