“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
A lot of people here are first worlders and accepting the validity of this method (however valid it is) requires some self criticism which frankly is not easy. I think we should be giving people levity as often as possible in situations like this. Most people will come around if you give them space to self crit.
I'm not sure anyone is questioning the validity of this -- "ban SUVs" would get nearly unanimous support here. People are questioning whether this is meaningful action or adventurist pranking.
Maybe it's simply community self-defense :shrug-outta-hecks:
