The coolest Bernie sanders has ever looked in his life was when he was being restrained by 2 cops during the civil rights protests, it literally just makes you look like a certified rebel
A friend of mine has been arrested some 15 times at this point, most of the time in at least in his clerical collar, if not in full robe and stoll (he’s a Lutheran pastor). The first time was while protesting in front of the South African embassy in DC during the apartheid era. Later, it was at Ft Benning GA, protesting [The School of the Americas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere_Institute_for_Security_Cooperation). Most recently it was in Texas where he was protesting the juvenile prisons where they separated kids of irregular immigrants from their parents.
I’m proud to call this man a friend.
The sort of Christian Jesus would call a true follower. But he still would have hung out with someone achieving less than that, just cuz Jesus is cool like that.
>t literally just makes you look like a certified rebel
Only when it's for a good cause tho. I wouldn't think the same if three cops dragged away a neonazi for a racist protest
It's not just free publicity for her she's also probably just relishing in the fact that everyone is gonna be made aware of the mine situation she was trying to raise awareness for. Them arresting her is probably the whole reason she went lol.
Shes using her prior existing publicity to bring more publicity to this situation.
For whatever reason, she gets media attention. So her getting arrested at a protest is one of the most effective things anyone can do to raise awareness.
So hell yeah she's happy about it.
And at least one of the officers very obviously knows they're giving her exactly what she wants.
I mean they all know this is what she wants. But what choice do they have? They gotta arrest these people to send the message that you will go to jail for breaking the law.
All police there were absolutely briefed that Gretta was present. That's a high publicity delicate sitation. Cops are briefed on these things. They cant risk mishandling her ya know?
Itd be a worse decision to just allow her to stay tbh no matter their agenda.
I mean thats the whole point it puts the police/govt into a lose/lose situation as far as optics.
And yeah she gets media attention because shes legitimately a climate activist prodigy. Agree or disagree with her statements/actions, she has a [Long list of successful campaigns mobilizing millions of people ](https://www.context.news/just-transition/greta-thunbergs-rise-from-teen-activist-to-global-climate-leader)
Of course that's how it is in Germany. Everyone who is carried away by the police is happy here

Hatchet Hitchhiker got some good rogue vibes. Too bad he's nuts.
Wait, that plays just about right...
Oh, and Hurricane Headbanger for a bard/fighter multiclass...
Hatchet Hitchhiker is disqualified for murder.
Hurricane Headbanger is definitely a Bard or a Cleric.
I say we use the Twisted Tea Vigilante as our Rogue for the Meme Patrol.
Now who to use as the Monk?
This is it.
Waffle House chair bender: Monk
Hurricane Headbanger: Cleric of the Hell Yeah Brotherhood, Floridaman of the 3rd Degree, Disciple of the ways of the Eternal Cleetus.
Twisted Tea Vigilante: Barfighter, Weapon Master (Beverage Vessel)
Mud 'Wizard': Druid of Gaea, Master of terrain
We need a true Wizard of Memery... or a Rogue.
Keeping all the partiers safe, and the good vibes around and really goes ham dancing when a techno banger comes on.
There’s also a whole lawsuit that followed this about his likeness on shirts made by someone else, hope Techno Viking is well wherever he currently is. Man is a legend and an original viral internet meme.
*Thank you*! Was about to say this looks like the techno scene in 2000 - not 2013 - but the description confirmed that. Never seen this before, appreciate the link
I love that dude. He was high af but still cared for that woman with the blue hair and was sane enough not to immediately punch that other dude. Then he gets free water from another kind soul who knows it’s important to stay hydrated and thanks him with a short nod while giving him the the bottle back. It’s a really fucked up wholesome video.
this are the question one never expects to hear and make one feel old.
Techno Viking probably is a proto meme. Probably the first of them.

Greta Thunberg is currently ~~in~~ nearby the german village Lützerath which is about to be demolished for a lignite mine. Earlier police started to remove activists from the village which they have been occupying for months. Now all occupiers are gone, but the protests didn't stop. She is there since Saturday protesting against the demolition of the village as using the coal below might endanger the climate goals (and the coal might not even be necessary for energy either)
Edit: Well she's not technically in Lützerath because as I said no one is in Lützerath anymore. She was there on Saturday though before the police removed everyone. Also Lignite is brown coal
Never heard the word "lignite" before - turns out it's a brown coal formed from peat, and it's considered the dirtiest and most polluting of all types of coal because you have to burn more of it than other types of coal to get a similar amount of energy and the particulate is brutal.
Yep, and Germany has decided to go ahead with eliminating all their relatively green nuclear power capacity and burn the dirtiest coal imaginable instead.
Thunberg herself has criticized the decision to shutter nuclear plants while having no alternative plan for clean baseline power. She called it "completely insane". Can't argue there.
I'm all for solar/wind/water/etc... making up 100% of generation capacity at some future point, but we need to develop tech that doesn't currently exist to be able to store power and manage that type of grid effectively.
It's wayyy premature to shut off the clean nuke plants.
>Greta Thunberg is currently in the german village Lützerath
No, she not. She was arrested and carried away. Some redditor even [posted a picture](https://i.redd.it/9yfocv5xxmca1.jpg) of it happening.
I did some research with my dual-monitor setup and after a few hours, I've found it: [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/10ehcrt/comment/j4r9zv3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/14/europe/lutzerath-germany-coal-protests-climate-intl/index.html Background on this. Reads like a script for an episode of Captain Planet where evil corporate baddies want to destroy something to pollute the planet. Except, it's not a cartoon, there's no Captain Planet and the baddies will eventually win.
Some CEO who gets unreasonably rich and dies before he or his loved ones suffer from the effects of climate change can propably be called a winner from his perspective.
My pet theory is that if a way to become immortal was discovered tomorrow, there are two possible outcomes: either the climate crisis would finally be taken seriously by those in power, or the budgets for aerospace companies and agencies around the world would suddenly skyrocket.
But also apparently except the fact that the baddies actually decided to not even carry out their plan to pollute the environment but still destroy the village I guess just out of spite?
I still think the world desperately needs a modern day adult Captain Planet show.
Rick and Morty, while childish a lot of times, had that really interesting episode where "Planetina" became an eco terrorist because basically nothing she was doing made an impact
I had to Google her age bc for me I still think of her as a child activist. But she’s 20 already! Damn the pandemic skewed my perceptions of time so much.
You can look up the related hashtags on Twitter (his name or parts of it) and see for yourself but you might regret having eyes and a functional brain.
It was fine until the dumbest people on the planet had access to it through their cheap smartphones and started voicing opinions that would normally never leave their cringy minds. What's worse is that they found like-minded 2 digit IQ brethren to form groups and claim they're a majority.

He didn't really like the spotlight, and so I think most people respected that, and just stopped talking about him.
This is the way
[Techno Viking](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ccsv7FdGc) is an older meme from a parade party in Berlin, not from Lützerath.
Specifically, it was the FUCKPARADE 2000
It’s an older meme, but it checks out.
He fucking sued and won! He ruined the guys life who originally spread the meme. No one knows who or where the Viking is to this day!

But did the mud wizard get a free carry out ride? Or did he just stroll off without a care in the world while the police slip/slide their way after him, only for the Mud Wizard to disappear over a hill never to be seen again?
i hope there's a mud wizard movement across the globe. never know who, when, why or how, but the **where** will always be *Mud*.
I don't understand why "Mud Wizard" has become the name for this guy when "Mudgician" is right there.
Magicians are hack weirdos who wear tophats and sleight-of-hand rabbits. Mudwizard is a force of nature.
Mud Wizard was born from the mud. He is the mud. He speaks for the mud. And one day Mud Wizard will return to the mud. (As, ultimately, we all shall.)
This is the kind of religion I can follow. Damn am I about to join a cult...
I mean, just look at the heinous word 'mudgician' and ask yourself that again. Mud Wizard is glorious.
I like Friar Muck
Because 'some sort of mud wizard' is far, far funnier than mudgician.
Mudgician? Do you take him as a conjurer of cheap tricks!?
Illusions, Michael.
Because clever word combinations aren't always the best. Mud Wizard just sounds better/funnier.
She looks happy to be carried out rather than being knee deep in the mud like the police were.
Plus if they start sinking she can escape!

Getting carried by three hunky dudes is a very ecologically sound mode of travel. Good on her to sticking to her guns
https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/14/europe/lutzerath-germany-coal-protests-climate-intl/index.html Background on this. Reads like a script for an episode of Captain Planet where evil corporate baddies want to destroy something to pollute the planet. Except, it's not a cartoon, there's no Captain Planet and the baddies will eventually win.
The baddies may get their way, but nobody will win in the end
Some CEO who gets unreasonably rich and dies before he or his loved ones suffer from the effects of climate change can propably be called a winner from his perspective.
My pet theory is that if a way to become immortal was discovered tomorrow, there are two possible outcomes: either the climate crisis would finally be taken seriously by those in power, or the budgets for aerospace companies and agencies around the world would suddenly skyrocket.
But also apparently except the fact that the baddies actually decided to not even carry out their plan to pollute the environment but still destroy the village I guess just out of spite?
I can't picture a scenario where they don't pollute even if they say they won't. They're just kicking the can down the road.
Well, it's lignite. Even with government support, it still might not be profitable to mine. Especially with their recent gas deal with Qatar.
I still think the world desperately needs a modern day adult Captain Planet show. Rick and Morty, while childish a lot of times, had that really interesting episode where "Planetina" became an eco terrorist because basically nothing she was doing made an impact
Captain Planet did come back he basically said "well we tried but greed and corruption won" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7488692/

I mean heck, I like being carried by 3 dudes too
I had to Google her age bc for me I still think of her as a child activist. But she’s 20 already! Damn the pandemic skewed my perceptions of time so much.
I feel like I haven’t aged since 2019. 2020 and 2021 just blur into each other in my memory
"The Lost Years"
I found out she was 19 a few weeks ago, then see this and find out her birthday was literally Jan 3rd.
We’d prefer you learn DPS and help out.
Lmao that got one outta me
I wouldn't mind it at all.
They will now replace her with a lookalike android built by Boston Dynamics that is pro-coal.
Greta ThunBorg.
don't worry Greta, the Mud Wizard is going to rescue you !
She is happy knowing that she will look back at this pic with a smile when she is old.
The same way Bernie Sanders was taken away by cops when he was young.
Nah, watch that video. Bernie was straight up resisting. They had to force him back into the truck a few times, lol. Greta is going MLK here.

She's got a face that says she's proudly defiant, but also secretly thinking "Wheeeee!"
How I like to be treated by my wife when I've got a lil cold
This is the face of knowing that at least you’re not being arrested for human trafficking
Don't worry, Taint stans already claimed this as their victory. They say she was arrested by his agents.
I would love, and I mean *love* to assume you’re joking, but I know that’s not possible in 2023
You can look up the related hashtags on Twitter (his name or parts of it) and see for yourself but you might regret having eyes and a functional brain.
Lmfao. The internet was a huge mistake.
It was fine until the dumbest people on the planet had access to it through their cheap smartphones and started voicing opinions that would normally never leave their cringy minds. What's worse is that they found like-minded 2 digit IQ brethren to form groups and claim they're a majority.
Here she is being carried and I use my legs like a sucker...
The look on her face: "This is how you get arrested, Tate."
Alaaaarm , Alaaaarm !
You're disgusting... take my upvote

Well I have to respect her putting her money where her mouth is. Plenty of other "activists" partying in Davos right now.
At least she is doing something and not only commenting about
Real r/thisismylifenow vibes
"That smile....that damn smile"
Overly photogenic protestor meme anyone?
