Last Generation Austria (Letzte Generation Österreich) disbanded recently, because they can't handle legal fees anymore. Others are on the same path.

While protesters for other causes face no consequences, climate protesters get arrested regularly.

For example farmers in Germany protested that they don't get subsidies anymore for using diesel engines, blocked and hindered main streets, people and buisnesses. Held a ferry full of people hostage because a politican with his family was on board, with no real negative or legal consequences.

German government caved to the farmers, while at the same time charging climate activists en mass for blocking highways and such.

Certain countries, such as the one where The Guardian is based, have long been infiltrating, surveilling and even using anti-Terrorism legislation against Ecologist groups.

They treat Far-Right extremism significantly more mildly than Environmentalism.

It's no secret that protesting is very inefficient, but it's also mostly peaceful and more ethical than other methods.

Politicians should just remember, that people will be forced to use the unethical, less peacful alternatives, once they can't protest any more.

So, you mean climate protest is working, it's becoming actually dangerous to the system.
