    I can’t imagine their prison sentences if they were actually thieves. Look at what they’re getting for doing peaceful protests. People freak out when property is disturbed.

      People freak out when travel is disturbed. They freak out quite a bit less when a big corporation that everyone hates happens to get targeted by environmental activists.

        . . . that everyone hates so hard they give them loads of money.

        I wish they all hated me like that.
