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

[federalreverse@feddit.org]

You're right in that the comments weren't talking up the US Greens and I did act a little hastily. However, I did also look at the things they post, they are pushing very different narratives in quick succession and they're trolling a lot, especially in comments. This is a selection of just posts:

• anti-Kennedy Jr: https://lemmy.world/post/24958175
• implicitly pro-third party meme (post-election!): https://lemmy.world/post/21714462
• election manipulation meme (pre-election): https://lemmy.world/post/21402404
• Harris demotivation copypasta: https://lemmy.world/post/20997757
• "Gay guy" third party (likely just humor with no real kernel of truth): https://lemmy.world/post/20259569
• weird pro-Trump article (maybe posted ironically): https://lemmy.world/post/17554165
• pro-Biden Pepe (probably an edited Republican meme): https://lemmy.world/post/17050406
• unmarked anti-Republican AI image: https://lemmy.world/post/16449278

However, the comments are sufficiently unique, and they do consistently say they're from Texas.

Anyway, unbanning, I guess. Thanks to you too.

Most vehicles now have locking fuel covers, don’t they?

Right-wing tabloid Bild picked up the story in December when the Russian connection wasn't known. So yeah.

That's a shit take. This is a false flag operation to discredit the climate activists scene and not some sort of environmentalism.

[grue@lemmy.world]

Don't get me wrong: for all I know, maybe a ban is justified. I just didn't think those particular comments previously cited were enough to do it, and I'm glad you investigated further.

Anything to stop oil is helping us

If you plug a loud muffler with foam they will just cut it off and run open pipes.

This can kill; I know someone who died of carbon monoxide poisoning due to a clogged exhaust. It ventilates away if the vehicle is in motion but they were idling.

Lol

They would not get a Straßenzulassung or operation permit in Germany anyway for safety reasons.

[zip2@feddit.uk]

Good. Easier for the next lot of foam to get to the engine.

But this is not helping to stop oil, this is helping those who try to stop people from stopping oil.

[elrecoal19_0@lemmy.world]

This isn't helping stop oil or achieve climate action, this is precisely to keep the people who wanna stop oil and take climate action out of goverment lmao
