Record sentences for climate protestors in England and Uganda, criminalization in Germany.

The real criminals are the fossil fuel industry and the politicians allowing them to destroy our world for their own profit.
I mean, I get that the "forming a terrorist group" charge is probably excessive, but you're only going to make people hate you (and by extension, your cause) by blocking highways. People literally need those, particularly ambulances and other emergency services.
Blocking airport runways and vandalizing priceless pieces of history will also make people hate you. Just Stop Oil is Big Oil's dream activist group.
Did you know just stop oil is funded by an inheritor of a large oil company
That would explain a lot, actually.
