You wouldn't trade one tragically paralysed woman now for billions of dead in 50 years time?

People starving to death, dieing in wildfires, drowning. Heat exhaustion or in the case of the UK and Ireland, pensioners freezing to death in Siberian conditions?

Peaceful protest, organisation, petitions and lobbying has failed to deliver meaningful change for 50 years, time is up. There's no more time to fack around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We don’t trade lives, no

And are you saying there has been no meaningful change?

This ‘ends justifies the means’ mentality is a very sick and twisted way of thinking that you really should reflect on.

If you’re (generally) that bothered about climate change and carbon usage then there is one very simple and effective solution that doesn’t end with OTHER people dying.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are trading lives every day, wether you like to acknowledge it or not.

Every decision you make, every mile you drive has exponential consequences to others down the road.

What you don't actually want is the awareness that you are doing so, you probably prefer to exist in a tiny safe little bubble, thinking your actions affect no-one but yourself.

Even on a far more current scale your support for the current government and their policies are trashing affordability of living, pushing up mental health rates and suicides, crashing birth rates because people can't afford to have children and the rate at which people with disabilities die has more than trebled since the conservatives took over.

You are ALWAYS trading lives.

Banning protests is sign of a healthy, functioning democracy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Especially peaceful ones
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Especially for the paralyzed woman.

Again, what did it acheive?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Debate, media attention, less pollution.

As close as can be... But that makes it OK. 👍🤦‍♂️
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, let's not create our own facts, you guys get very upset when someone like AOC isn't accurate, but it's completely fine to upgrade paralysis to death?

Sorry hadn’t read the story. Change manslaughter to the appropriate charge for paralysis

Cling on to that mistake if you wish and focus on that.

I’m happy knowing that I’m not the one that is perfectly happy to sacrifice OTHERS for MY beliefs.

So let's cause a traffic jam. That will fix it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well they could have fixed it of their own free will couldn't they? Why is they blame not on the government's and companies that have suppressed climate change science for 50 years not on the hook here?

Sorry that’s a really poor argument. Nothing precise or mathematical about it

Getting away from the point. So paralysis is ok. 👍
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not getting away from the point, I asked if someone died. If you want to see my views on the tragic cost to the woman, scroll back up.

Ah, that doesn't count.

It's just good old conservatism

Manslaughter for those who have understaffed the NHS
Manslaughter for those who opposed travel restrictions in covid
Manslaughter for those who have caused climate change for the last 50 years and have caused the deaths of 10s of thousands worldwide this year

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cars with engines on sitting in traffic? Er....

Media attention. Yep. Made a lot of people hate them even more and less likely to join.

Debate? Showing some of us like pagans brushing off sacrifice (although ONLY sacrifice of bodily functions).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot of the cars had their engines off for large periods of time, many modern cars have stop start engines, and finally you completely miss the point that many people simply wouldn't have travelled due to the ongoing issues, many others would have opted for public transport.

As for the rest, that's your opinion on the matter. Tragic but no less so than the people this year who burned to death in their homes, drowned, starved, died of beat exhaustion etc.

Willful Corporate/government murder over the last 50 years

How about manslaughter for parents of those needing ambulances? Or how about Adam and Eve?

Ridiculous arguement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why did her son have to drive her? If only he'd had a blue light, the traffic would have parted, the protesters would have stood up to let it pass.

Your views are very clear. You don't care.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are going to fabricate my views for me, don't bother joining the discussion, that's how children argue.

Your views are clear for all to see. You think the ends justify the means and the means are the suffering of others for YOUR beliefs.

Let’s think how many people in China and India alone have been saved due to being allowed to develop through carbon usage.

How many people have died due to the predicted flooding, the heat waves, the floods, acid rain?

Do that equation and come back to me.


The trade lives was an avengers quote for you, minus 27 points for not clocking 😂

Let's sit placidly by and wait for billions to die,

As Hec has said, why was her son driving her?

because of a fundamental underfunding of NHS ambulances. With two thirds of the budget going to private companies who only cover one third of the call outs.

Because of historic NHS wait times.

Charge those people for murder, she should have been able to access first responder care at her home ffs.
