I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Climate change. Only recently people became so vocal about this and everyone began repeting climate change. Fortunately at least Greta Thunberg was arrested for invading oil platform

Recently, eh?

You consider the 1800's recent? Because there were news articles reporting on the issue back then.

Here's an article from 1896 for you to read over, provided you care about learning how you're wrong.

Where have you been this last few years? Do you live on another planet? Are you really so out of touch with reality? I hope at least you have an economic interest in this, because otherwise you are really pathetic.

Maybe because it started affecting them?

No, it's because she's not a minor anymore, so she can be arrested for spreading such a hoax and invading private property. You see, free speech doesn't guaratee one to spread false information and misinforming people worldwide while being funded by the EV industry. If she continues with that, she will likely rot in jail along with her followers.
