Police water cannons are yet again turned on the scientists. Today an estimated 10,000 peaceful protestors in the Hague, are demonstrating against Dutch government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry, totalling at least 37.5 billion euros a year.

zumindest beschießt in Deutschland die Regierung die gewünschten ausländischen Fachkräfte, die wir so dringend brauchen, nicht.

People: If the people are sovereign, and the state exists to advance their interests, then surely the state cannot also lend itself to the corporate firms whose profits come at the expense of the people.

State: 😶

People: 🤨

State: Hope you’re thirsty, peasants!

That's the thing I don't get...

The main "reason" to not phase out fossil fuels is the "economy", "the market"...

Yet, fossil fuel companies need constant subsidies while making eye wateringly high profits.

Hmm

Its time to not protest but walk out and stay out.

Shut it down.

@ScientistRebellion_NL if the state is against us protesting then I guess it's time to stop paying taxes. Maybe oil firms could fund them entirely!

@ScientistRebellion_NL but is it shocking that it is "power vs rationality", or that they think it is shocking that the punishments of lawbreaking apply to them? Does it change their view of that?

@ScientistRebellion_NL From Capital's point of view no protest is peaceful. We are protesting their very essence, their existence. Imagine getting 37.5 billion euros a year, the wealth, influence and POWER this brings. Now imagine scientists trying to take it all away. Real cannons are not far behind. 😐

@ScientistRebellion_NL Protesting is fine. But just tell it like it is.

Peaceful would be demonstrating on 't Malieveld. Blocking a highway and thereby dragging bystanders in to your demonstration is a form of force.

I also highly doubt you thought it was fine when the farmers (who oppose your views) where blocking highways.

Nowadays everyone seems to be blocking highways; Too much climate action, too little climate action...

I hope they have learned something, and I’m sure they have, from the treatment of Alan Turing, among many others.

Jesus the mist on that police cannon 🚔💨 😂😂😂😂👀👀📝📰

I bet the PR person from the PD took out a petty cash run for this demonstration to get sunscreen and a bunch of bottled water to load into their mister...

God, the damage control some PD PR departments get up to in other non-posted clips circulating. lol
