"blowing up petrol stations" can get people killed. Someone who advocates such terrorism does not have a valid complaint if they are the target of violence.

- eesmith 4y agoI see two forms of complaint you might be referring to. I don't believe anyone carrying out "MASSIVEN KRIMINELLEN GEWALTTATEN" will fail to understand how the state-backed violence will be used against them. So yes, if they complain about that response, then I don't think it's all that valid. However, that does not mean that the original complaint - the lack of required and urgent response to the climate change crisis - is not valid. Suffragettes carried out a bombing and arson campaign. "Places that wealthy people, typically men, frequented were also burnt and destroyed whilst left unattended so that there was little risk to life, including cricket pavilions, horse-racing pavilions, churches, castles and the second homes of the wealthy. They also burnt the slogan "Votes for Women" into the grass of golf courses." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_campaign https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suffragette_bombing_and_arson_... . That doesn't invalidate the complaint about the lack of woman suffrage.
