Historically speaking, militant environmentalists have been targeting infrastructure, not people. The current mainstream movement is nonviolent to the point of absurdity, whereas their militant counterpart is basically nonexistent. It’s a bit counterintuitive if you think about it; a movement which objects to the very real violence that industry subjects both people and entire ecosystems to is completely nonviolent.
Relevant quote from JFK:
Probably only a matter of time before there’s a lot of Italian plumbers all over Europe…
You can say Luigi here
I know. I wasn’t trying to self-censor. Mentioning Italy just felt like a fitting way to talk about Luigi in the context of Europe 🤷
Mamma mia!
