A U.K. judge handed down shockingly harsh sentences to peaceful climate activists, sparking outrage and disbelief. Is this justice or suppression of dissent?
Back on the other, forgotten platform, I mentioned that they were violating the civil rights of every person they delayed… And then I discovered the UN’s Universal Declaration of human rights.
Do you know just how many of those rights rely on the freedom of travel that JSO activists violate during their protests?
Impeding free travel for any purpose other than exercising your own right to travel is a human rights violation. These nitwits got a slap on the wrist.
“Someone slowed down traffic!” is not what freedom to travel is about. What kind of Sovereign Citizen horseshit is that? It means you are legally permitted to go places. It’s not a guarantee that nobody ever temporarily interferes with roads or trains.
Do you think it’s a humanitarian crisis whenever police blockade a road for maintenance?
These dipshits weren’t maintaining the road. They were impeding the freedom of travel of everyone they obstructed, which is, indeed, a human rights violation.
And they were planning to obstruct some roads. A thing that happens all the time, for a lot of reasons, and is not genocide.
Genocide is an example of an actual human rights violation. It’s the level of badness implied, when people correctly use the phrase “human rights violation.” Torture violates human rights. Slavery violates human rights. Traffic plainly fucking doesn’t.
In a decision that one United Nations official called “beyond comprehension,” a U.K. judge on Thursday sentenced five Just Stop Oil activists to a combined 21 years in prison over a Zoom call in which they discussed plans to disrupt London’s orbital M25 highway.
Okay, do you have a sensible opinion now?
Are you unfamiliar with the words “disrupt” and “highway?”

They didn’t do anything. They were planning.

Come back when you understand what is going on.
