Let me get this straight:

  • Destroying the planet for profit: LEGAL
  • Peacefully suggesting they shouldn't: ILLEGAL

The law has nothing to do with morality, no matter what anyone tells you.

[–] MasterObee@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nobody has ever claimed laws are purely for morality.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, but there are tons of people who believe something is moral as long as it's legal, and even more people who believe something being illegal makes it inherently immoral.

Or like the line of a song goes:

I am afraid you have this very straight :/ I am so sick of our corporate-fascist world order. Big corporations are basically the worst dictator you can imagine, but with money dedicated to a PR department.

Of all the things to be guilty of these days, that's a pretty decent one.

Disobeying the foot soldiers of capital is a core tenet of climate protesting. This is akin to charging a band for making noise.

She's getting into good trouble.

Harriet Tubman was also a criminal. Just about every single hero was technically a criminal.

[–] MercuryUprising@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I'm sure if Harriet Tubman was active today, she would be facing the same sort of bullshit as Greta. Probably worse thanks to her complexion.

her punishment was a 2500 SEK fine? They've just told the entire country that we can pay the equivalent of a new bicycle to block oil tankers, this is amazing.

[–] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dagsböter, though, so it is based on income.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 year ago

Which sorta just makes it better since it'll be lower if you're poor lol

Sweden found guilty of failing to obey world's leading scientists and researchers' calls for immediate drastic action against climate change.

[–] Pinto23@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We did it, we arrested climate change!
