The Generation Gap on DU is real

[Think. Again.]

438. Just a note...

...one strong example of climate activists being defamed and talked badly about here on DU is a rather long discussion from back in Oct 22 after 2 young activist threw soup onto a piece of glass in London:

I know that this same type of vitriol against young climate activists came from some members of DU after young American climate activists made people have to wait before a tennis game could be watched:

And earlier this year DU had a very long and angry thread dedicated to young activists who smeared paint on YET ANOTHER PIECE OF GLASS(!)

The point these activists are doing a very good job of expressing is that a large portion of the public value certain pieces of glass and watching tennis games on schedule much more than they value our only life-support system, and yes, those activists do get treated very badly here in DU.

The article in the thread linked below article might explain why the public in general, and some folks here at DU, do indeed show hate for these young activists:
