They're clogging exhaust pipes with foam: Russian sabotage in Germany to discredit the Greens?

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

I had interpreted the same way as them too lmao

[albert180@discuss.tchncs.de]

Talking them up in the US makes perfect sense if you are a Russian bot, because it steals voters from Democrats and makes it more likely for the GQP to win

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

idk, I can't think of any use apart from "giving enviromentalists a bad image", except for it being a minor inconvenience. Salt in the fuel is way more inconvenient

[nougat@fedia.io]

Nobody said you have to pin it on environmentalists.

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

If you like this idea, you might like the idea of putting salt on fuel (if you manage to get to the fuel tank); it makes the fuel filter fill qickly and choke, so no fuel passes to the engine, and it's way harder to solve than some cheap foam on the exhaust.

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

No, but there aren't as many people that serve as scapegoats for messing with combustion cars as easily as them

For just $4.99, you can have a tool that can functionally disable any number of things:

Banned, thanks for the research.

The damaged vehicles often had stickers with the image of the Greens' candidate for chancellor, as well as the slogan "Be greener!". That's why investigators initially assumed that climate activists or Greens supporters were behind the foam attacks.

I don't get why they would assume the attackers were Greens supporters when it was cars with stickers supporting the Greens that were being damaged?

[vxx@lemmy.world]

The stickers were placed by the attackers.

[crimeschneck@feddit.nl]

Is this a genuine question?

I assume the people who damaged the vehicles were also the ones who put the stickers on the car, or atleast that's what the investigators assumed.

[anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

The saboteurs also put those stickers there.

It's translated as be greener which can be seen as an endorsement but the way it's written in the original german is rather accusatory. The stickers are also ugly and have a smug image of the green candidate.

[thepantser@lemmy.world]

Great idea for revenge on those that drive reckless in your neighborhood. I need to start following those drivers in my hood who go 60 in a 30

[anunusualrelic@lemmy.world]

I too was confused by the phrasing of the article.

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

I support climate direct action, even if Russians are doing it

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

I think sugar in the gas tank is more effective and easier

[luffy879@lemmy.ml]

don't get why they would assume the attackers were Greens supporters

You are assuming that Fascists are thinking. Their Alternative Media will do anything to frame the greens as bad.

As I said once already: You dont save a rotten plant by watering it. The same way you don't save a fascist with facts and Logic. They only listen to guillotines, fire throwers and a machine gun beside a wall.

Roderick Kiesewetter

Wtf. They managed to mispell Annalena Baerbock four different ways, and they also mangled Kaja Kallas and Roderich Kiesewetter. They had no issue spelling Bundestag or Bundeswehr however. Do they hate all these people or did the writer lose a bet of some sort?

[not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Too bad you can't do this to cyber trucks.
