Can we stop using these weird terms global north and global south? Australia feels left out.

Depend on the protest TBH. The ones where some dick chains himself to a dairy case or sits down on a highway then starts yelling at people – Or destroys a global cultural site? Those can fuck off, you don’t have carte-blanche rights to obstruct peoples’ lives. If you’re actually doing a march and organizing though, have at it and do your thing. Just don’t troll and call it protest.

Good that other countries do not silence protests. Especially the last big one in North Korea.

If we’re talking about Greta’s protest then no, climate protests are not being silenced you are literally obstructing traffic get out of the road.

I have some suspicions that it’s has something to do with nature of said protests and rights being actually violated in other countries

This isn’t a news article, it is a propaganda piece claiming climate activists should be given carte blanche to do as they please because their cause is morally righteous.

For those commenting without reading the article, this is not about people who glue themselves and block roads but rather about the response of “democratic” countries to peaceful protests.
>Tuesday’s report also found:
>Record prison sentences for non violent protest in several countries including the UK, Germany and the US.
>Preemptive arrests and detention for those suspected of planning peaceful protests.
>Draconian new laws passed to make the vast majority of peaceful protest illegal.
>Measures to stop juries hearing about people’s motivation for taking part in protests during court cases, which critics say fundamentally undermines the right to a fair trial.

If they care about climate, the first thing they need to do is to cut the tariff on Chinese car and solar panel. Look at the carbon emission of China, it basically stop increase this year. These new energy techniques are effective on stopping global warming.

All protesters need to do is apply for a permit. That’s all. Those who don’t will be removed. Especially because they love pEaCefULLy block up their host country’s infrastructure by gluing and chaining themselves on roads and in front of tunnels

Just to add context to the picture included. Greta was actively blocking the entrance to the Swedish Parliment, and when she refused to move out of the way, she was carried.
