Reply to comment by kornmachine in Germany plans to destroy this village for a coal mine. Thousands are gathering to stop it by LaminatedDenim
Five other villages were saved in the deal, and the end of coal mining eight years earlier than planned will help, too.
The protests at Lützerath are a mere symbol, causing heavy costs, and were seen as pathetic by many even before.
Do not forget: The tree house guy, the tunnel guys, and those having put their arms in oil drums with concrete will have to pay for their salvage.
I wonder if they have fun afterwards.

They'll still end up costing the taxpayer a pretty penny. This is bullshit. There are plenty of things to protest sensibly, in ways that don't alienate the mainstream that may still make a difference somewhere and yet this is how they burn their energy, money, and social capital. It feels like self-sabotage.

That's how everyone who isn't an idiot feels about people wanting to start more coal mining in 2023.

And this is the kind of protest that's needed. Blocking coal mines and pipelines, not throwing soup at art.

Gosh if people were just a little more polite the big corporations and rich politicians wouldn’t be destroying the Earth.
