It’s getting increasingly difficult to protest against governments, elected or not.
Across the Atlantic, you risk persecution and deportation if you are critical towards the Presidents Musk and Trump. If you rally at a Tesla showroom, you’ll be marked as a domestic terrorist.
Here, similar patterns emerge. If you disrupt traffic to support the climate, you’ll be persecuted for terrorism. You’ll be pampered as a concerned citizen if you do the same but target the Greens instead.
No need to mention all the other Autocrats; they’re equally allergic to criticism.
The current negotiations for our next coalition government do not bode well for minorities and migrants, which is utterly shameful and calls for more protests. Wait. Is there maybe a connection here? 🙂
