Environmental protesters determined to force the German automotive industry to decarbonize glued themselves to the floor at the Porsche pavilion in the Autostadt museum in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Then they complained there was no place to poop.
“Together with 15 other members of @ScientistRebel1 I have occupied the Porsche pavillion at @Autostadt, 9 of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike until our demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met,” self-described “experimental economist” Gianluca Grimalda tweeted.
“VW told us that they supported our right to protest, but they refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating. People in support can’t get out of the building,” he complained.
“Current actions and plans are grossly inadequate, and even these obligations are not being met. The rate of environmental destruction closely tracks economic growth, which leads to us extracting more resources from Earth than are regenerated,” Scientist Rebel states on its website, calling for “degrowth of economies” but assuring living standards will not be affected as the wealthiest of the population will pay for the cost.
“Governments and corporations aim to increase growth and profits, inevitably accelerating the destruction of life on Earth,” the website declares.
“To achieve decarbonisation on the required scale demands economic degrowth, at least in the short term,” it continues. “This does not necessarily require a reduction in living standards. For a just transition, the cost of degrowth must be paid for by the wealthiest, who have benefited enormously from the current destructive world order, while others have faced the consequences. A just transition to a sustainable system requires the wealth from the 1% to be used for the common benefit.”
Conservatives had a field day mocking the protesters:
“Perhaps you should have thought of bringing your pisspot before you glued yourself to the floor, you blithering idiot,” said Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro.
“S*** on the floor, no one said life was easy,” commentator Tim Pool said.
“Last loser to piss themselves gets the car,” Stephen Miller said.
“They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes… Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark… We cannot get out… They are coming,” quipped Noah Blum.
“Nothing says serious effort like pooping in a bowl,” another added.
How about MANDATORY sterilization of every one of these protesters.??? START THERE
Then they complained there was no place to poop
glue would help with that too
save some for there mouths as well
then just walk away
somebody had an interview with some young skull full of mush saying that
“we must stop farming
cuz of global warming”
i dont think he has thought that through
They can’t even prepare properly for a protest and we are supposed to listen to their crazy ideas?
Oh, look, more marxism!
They probably glued their shoes to the floor, and aren’t smart enough to just step out of their shoes and head to a restroom.
Because having a bowl for them to defecate in, and pass around would make it so much more sanitary.
No.
Not interfering with their protest in any way, shape, or form is the way to go.
Once VW renders aid, they are under legal obligations to do it properly—that also means do no harm.
Had VW provided pans the protestors could urinate and defecate in that would have opened the door to VW to be legally responsible to providing all kinds of things: clothing, food, medical care, you name it.
By taking a completely hands off approach they can let the protestors suffer without bearing any legal responsibility.
Do they turn the lights off at night and lower the temperature normally? They can keep doing that because they aren’t interfering with the protestors, just following their normal procedure.
Are food and beverages banned from the hall? They can keep that policy in place. Are visitors banned certain hours? Is the hall closed on weekends? No problem to keep to their regular schedule.
These “glue yourself to the floor” protestors count on police coming along immediately to help them out of their fix. They don’t count of the target saying “we support your protest” and leaving them there for days on end.
A few examples of people sitting in their own excrement for a few days and these glue-protests will come to a quick end. You don’t need to hasten them with tricks like laxatives. That will only make people feel sorry for the protestors.
According to the protestors, the carmaker supported their right to protest but neglected to give them ‘a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued.’
I've been waiting for someone to handle protestors like this.
And the salt in their wound: VW says it supports their right to protest. So, they aren't calling in the police to remove them.
How many of these protestors brought solvent to unglue themselves from the floor? My guess: none.
They'll be demanding VW unglue them and let them go home in a few days.
I’m thinking about buying a VW now..................
Put portable video displays in the room and play real science videos on endless repeat.
You can’t read a book by its cover, but the pictured stooges costumed as “scientists” look more like foreign imports than ethnic Germans. Wie heißen sie? Mohamet?
They LOOK like they came all the way from San Francisco, too.
Dinner time!
LOL
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Congratulations!
You are officially entered into the Finals for Best Response for the Day. You will be competing against other worthy contributors to WIN THE INTERNET!
GOOD LUCK!
Seems like a waste of good prison labor. They should have rounded up these ecowackos 30 some years ago when they started getting out of control over there. Germany has coal deposits, hand them all shovels and tell them that their sentence is over when Germany reaches energy independence.
No, let them reap what they’ve sewn, otherwise they won’t learn.
Fine, glue, chain, handcuff yourself to stuff. Then there you will stay. Freeing them only encourages them.
They didn’t think this thing through very carefully.
