The bad publicity for blocking people in transit to hospitals and backlash these extremists received would be good incentives to stop.
German climate activists from the Letzte Generation or the Last Generation group will no longer glue themselves to roads, the group said in a statement on Monday. The group will now use the tactic of organizing "disobedient assemblies."
"From now on we will protest in a different form, but it will remain impossible to ignore. From March, we will be calling for disobedient gatherings across the country. Instead of splitting up into small groups and holding street blockades, we will organize disobedient assemblies involving many people," said the statement.
The group said they will continue protesting at oil pipelines, coal mines and airports. It will also "increasingly visit places of fossil destruction for our protest."
The activists added they wanted to "increasingly confront those responsible for climate destruction directly in future" and "confront politicians and other decision-makers publicly and in front of running cameras."
Disobedient assemblies as in, perhaps, a mob mentality or a kind of mob rule overwhelming people with the potential for it to result in violence? It remains to be seen what they're talking about. It is one thing to protest, another to irrationally confront people for their activities including policy makers attempting to address concerns about climate change by creating solutions to address it.
Abrupt acts of confrontation are a great way to undermine your position, as Last Generation obviously realized due to their halting the use of human blockades on roadways. None the less, if these cultists are determined to achieve their green utopia and their new methods turn even more people off, then have at it.
