So those activists are ready to sacrifice human being just to harass another ship, which changed nothing. I think I know who's the villain of the story here. Also having the whaling ship coming to help the activists must have stung.
And he's a liar a and a fraud.
- mcv 8y agoHow is he a liar and a fraud? I can understand if you disagree with his methods, which are extremely confrontational, but he seems quite honest about what he does and what his intentions are: he doesn't want whales to be die. He doesn't want people to die either, and doesn't use deadly force, but is willing to cause material damage if it stops people from killing whales. But the liars in the story are clearly the Japanese whalers who claim to be killing whales for science, which is obviously a lie. It's tragic that the moratorium on whaling is so easily ignored.
- baud147258 8y agoA fraud might be a little much and he's honest with his goals, but he's openly telling people to lie for the cause: "Watson advises readers to make up facts and figures when they need to, and to deliver them to reporters confidently" and "By Watson’s count, Sea Shepherd has sunk ten whaling vessels in port. By my count, he and his crew have attempted to scuttle two vessels and have successfully sunk two others"
- mcv 8y agoFair enough. If you need to make up facts and figures to support your cause, that's definitely a problem. It's distressingly common in politics at any level; he's not remotely the only one guilty of that.
