Political violence wins again. Just Stop Oil just stopped oil in the UK.
Healthy societies have an immune response to full-throated attacks on the foundations of their economy, culture, or politics. Dying or decaying ones focus on relieving the symptoms of a disease that is causing them discomfort. Better a long, slow decline than getting on the treadmill, improving one’s diet, and lifting a few weights.
Healthy at any size! That’s the ticket!
Now Just Stop Oil isn’t Hamas–their version of terrorism was closer to annoyingism, but the principle was the same: use some form of inherently disruptive activity that coerces people to bend to one’s will. Because the United Kingdom and the West are so weak already, actual violence wasn’t necessary to get the desired results.
I cannot believe it. They actually just stopped oil https://t.co/lssLk8K1zY
