    No one has been doing anything before the klimakleber, so if all they lead to is no one doing anything, that’d still be fine.

    But in reality it does help. More extreme forms of protest shift the point of reference and as such help other forms get taken seriously. Even if I have mixed feelings about it, ultimately it’s probably a good thing.

    Also to my knowledge the Klimakleber have always left space for a Rettungsgasse…

      Huh, not in my region then. Could be Klimakleber extreme. Probably all glued themselves and could stand up for because of it.

      I think we have both different understandings, the Klimakleber is for me a laughing stock.

      They should rather do something productive for the environmnet, and not buy extra warning jackets, glue that is probably bad for the environment and forcing cars to idle and get people angry about the klimakleber.
