These arseholes are not Nimbys or environmentalists so let’s stop referring to them as such
They are just your common old anti capitalist fuckwits whose brains are still in their teenage years raging against capitalism
They just hate profit of any type
Just bloody bolsheviks let’s refer to them as such
I originally wanted to place the post here in the bar:
What a rant! Here take a cold beer for the voice and here are the peanuts.
Let's just call them climate-denying Bolsheviks as a compromise
Seriously, it's good to see that I'm not the only one who despairs of the absurd attitude of parts of our society.
The bad thing is the standing also in the media and not only up there. As mentioned, a report was transmitted here at a local radio station in Freiburg Germany. There it was purely about one/their view and there was not even the shame not to lie let alone to question the lies.
However. Our society has changed into a far left ecosocialist camp and a far right camp. Both of course hide parts of reality so that they do not destroy their own bubbles they are living in.
I was driven to the edge of madness several times by reading in the different camps to get to know the opposing voices. Their thinking is like poison. It is still hard for me not to get angry about it. It is a new movement and some hardliners take it as a substitute for religion. For the true believers the Green Transition is the devil's work. I don't just claim that, but if you've been reading this for years, like I have, you get a lot of things to know about their thinking.
Just go on step by step. To leave it as it is and to ignore it is the only thing that helps -> me. And don't go to demonstrations with the children on Friday, but support them to actively participate in projects and to make a difference. Work for something instead of demonstrating against it or demonstrating that others should do something.
Be glad, with you I think that is not even close to as strong as with us here in Germany. For me it is normal that even people in my personal environment partly close their heads and prefer to believe. I could fill a whole book with anecdotes.
By the way, the hardliners are called eco-fascists here.
Ask an activist what is practically necessary to protect the climate. And then take him seriously and try to work out together with him what this means in practice and try to follow the causal chain step by step. You will quickly realize that they live in a different reality. I take the subject so seriously because I was for a long time of my life in a relationship that had such a circle of friends. So I went through a long and hard school. I know how they think and tick. But I have not lost myself in the process.)
For comparison the open pit mines in my region. You can see them from space (yellow markers).

Zoom into the mine. At the bottom, layer after layer is removed until the black layer of coal is exposed. All the material runs over conveyor belts and is piled up again at the back to a hill (above). It is expected that this open pit mine will take 14 years to fill with water and that the lake will change the microclimate here.
I mention this not because I think it's good, but because it simply impresses me how enormous this mine is in its dimensions. It's so huge that you can't believe it if you haven't seen it with your own eyes. I was lucky enough to be standing right at the edge of the quarry when one of the colossi shaved off the field in front of me. It was a sight I will never forget.
...similar but even closer it was at the top of the edge
These largest excavators in the world are located at the yellow markers. To show how huge this mining is compared to the one in Nunasvaara. (By the way, the kart club (green letters) is that of the famous F1 racing driver Schumacher)
For comparison
And of the marked area only the smaller part is declared as pasture.
The 7.2km is just the hole at the Hambach open pit mine. The marking here, however, shows the entire mine area Wich is for Hambach much much greater than the 7Km.
The pictures reminds me again of our antis with their luxury problems and the lies that spread all the way to Germany.
WTM, sometimes I could also rant
I think that the Supreme Court granting the extension of time to find reasons is only because once the spade is in the ground nothing can be done to hinder or obstruct the mine. So the Supreme Court wants to make sure that means can be exhausted to avoid any embarrassment. It wants to be 100% sure that nothing can be done subsequently against this national interest. With the Cementa case we could see what kind of chaos a party can cause with procedural errors (declaring Natura2000 afterwards).
