Australia bans Nazi salute, swastika, other hate symbols in public as antisemitism spikes
cbsnews.com
Australian lawmakers have banned the performance of the Nazi salute in public and outlawed the display or sale of Nazi hate symbols such as the swastika in landmark legislation that went into effect in the country Monday. The new laws also make the act of glorifying OR praising acts of terrorism a criminal offense.
The crime of publicly performing the Nazi salute or displaying the Nazi swastika is punishable by up to 12 months in prison, according to the Reuters news agency.
Mark Dreyfus, Australia's Attorney-General, said in a press release Monday that the laws — the first of their kind in the country — sent "a clear message: there is no place in Australia for acts and symbols that glorify the horrors of the Holocaust and terrorist acts."

They'll pollute even more as they're idling on the highway waiting to move instead of getting to their destination more efficiently.
Damn the protest might add an extra 0.0000000000001% to our annual pollution.
Alienate people to your cause and increase pollution. It doesn't seem like an effective way to protect the climate.
“I was going to support not causing the extinction of our species but someone made me late to work one day, so I support climate change now due to spite”
Said nobody ever.
It's more I don't want to associate with this group they made me lose my job and then said suck it up its for the greater good.
But that didn't happen.
Either was the hypothetical I responded to.
People have complained about being delayed. I've seen no one say they lost their jobs.
Does a person on parole who was sent back to jail because he lost his job for being late count?

How about not being able to get to the emergency room.

How about going into labor and being stuck. https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/woman-reportedly-goes-into-labor-while-stuck-in-traffic-after-protesters-shut-down-i-80-in-berkeley/
"May". They don't know that he did.
You're moving the goal posts he said he would lose his job.
Not only did he lose his job he went to jail.
No, it says "may" (as I already stated) and "likely", not that he did. So that's unconfirmed and... No other examples.
I can tell you didn't read the article, he went to jail.
They don’t care if you associate with them or not, they care about the survival of our species/life on earth.
And they won't get more people to join their cause with those tactics. You need people to support your cause for your cause to be successful.
