      You may disagree with her methods (as do I at times), but few (mostly climate change deniers) would disagree with her goals. She’s spending her life trying to improve the future of the all humankind.

        Whenever I see people complain about protest methods, it reminds me of this quote:

        First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

        –Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963 in a jail cell in Birmingham Alabama.

      She’s trying to. We are trying really hard to make sure nobody can live on the earth. If we took climate change seriously, we would all be doing something similar.

      She’s on the side of life. It would have been better to have left a world to inherit where the young don’t have to go to this extreme. But here we are.

      Life for what? Did she kill someone? Did she heinously steal millions from improverished communities? Did she turn off Safelites and directly involve herself in an active war, foreign to her own land resulting in the death of citizens? Did she try to steal an election? Did she get kick back from the Saudi government to the tune of 2 billion dollars? Was she responsible for brexit? Did she steal from.her government by not paying taxes on corporate greed?

      NoOoOoOOo!!! She didn’t… hmmm why would you want her to spend life in prison?

      OH!!! I GET IT… she said she wants all CEOs who are killing our plantet, to stop doing that, and she crossed the Atlantic ocean in essentially a paddle boat…

      so that to you, deserves taxes be spent to house her for life on a made up crime… tell you what… fine, arrest and charge her, and imprison her for life … but ONLY IF it comes out on your dime only… since you are the only one asking for it… we will give you your way and fuck the rest of what the world wants… no have you way on one condition, if you pay for it… and only you… if you can’t afford it, then shut tf up, move on…

      You’re as bad as the politicians imprisoning humans over cannabis, so they have warm bardies for slave work in their private prisons… you should trade spots with them

      That seems extreme. I’m not seeing any murder or severe endangerment of others unless I’m missing something…
