Greta Thunberg found guilty of failing to obey police at climate protest
Greta Thunberg receives fine over climate protest in Sweden
She told Swedish media that she will not be appealing the verdict.
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.

Based and gretapilled
Based as fuck
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.
Dagsböter, though, so it is based on income.
Which sorta just makes it better since it'll be lower if you're poor lol
This seems like a very good trade.
You should read up on dagsböter.
D'ya like dagsböter?
Civil Disobedience FTW
Complaining about climate change will not make governments move nor civil disobedience, only when we get more than 100+ deaths due to hot temperatures per day and food shortage governments will react.
Sadly that's how our species work on a global scale, something must go really wrong to make the world do something about it.
@Cyo Luckily most of us live in a democracy. We get to select our government and change it as all of us see fit.
We can change things. It is up to all of us
Sweden found guilty of failing to obey world's leading scientists and researchers' calls for immediate drastic action against climate change.
arrest Greta Thunberg
We did it, we arrested climate change!
Sounds like a South Park episode
Ribbit
Why is this news?
Because she is a public figure and a politically exposed persons
This girl just follow get famous quick scheme.
If you want to protect environment, prove it by action, not acting.
She already took all the actions she needs and more. Now she is teaching clueless meeks like you that they need to take actions too.
And I'm not talking about recycling and not using plastic straws, I'm talking collectively making elites accountable.
You, of course, will side with the elites that are killing you, but other people might not
Didnt she say on twitter we would already be dead in 2023?
I don't think you read your article. And Steve Forbes himself doesn't seem to have basic logic capabilities.
2023 was the supposed deadline for stopping the usage of fossil fuels, not the exact time humanity will be wiped out. Did you think this was going to happen in as little as one year?
It will take decades. But with every year we keep using fossil fuels, we're ensuring that it'll be worse.
The way the climate alarmist make it sound it will. Or maybe there is other factors in play but you can't waste a good way to scare the populous into fear.
Not like we havent have had climate change before industrialization... Those glaciers melted just out of fun, hell we were told the late 70's it was a "micro ice age". Been around the block, this is a ploy for control. If these elites really cared about it they would scrape their G5's jets... Never gonna happen.
Plastic pollution in the sea, yeah thats on us. R22 eating the ozone, yeah again us. But CO2 is a natural compound, some man made, mostly naturally made. So I'm keeping w/ the status quo.
No she didn't. Even her tweet quoted a climate scientist. Here, let me read the article you clearly didn't.
In June 2018, climate activist Greta Thunberg fired off an urgent tweet: “A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.”
Here's some context that isn't just Steve "human ballsack" Forbes complaining about something that didn't happen.
Based.
Let me get this straight:
The law has nothing to do with morality, no matter what anyone tells you.
Nobody has ever claimed laws are purely for morality.
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:
Thomas Aquinas: Am I a joke to you
Then what is natural law theory?
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.
Yeah, imagine a 2D graph with axes going from legal to illegal, and legitimate to illegitimate.
Some things are legal although they are illegitimate (like 'Destroying the planet'), and others are illegal although they are legitimate (like some forms of civil disobedience or sabotage).
In an ideal world the two are aligned, but ours is not ideal. Also worth noting legal-illegal is rather objective, while legitimate-illegitimate is rather subjective.
I found Thoreau interesting on the topic, who commented being jailed for withholding taxes to not support the war: "The bars are meant to separate bad from good people".
She was peacefully protesting. There was no violence involved. She refused to move. She didn't hurt or threaten anyone.
There's no dichotomy between peaceful and obstructive.
