RAF-Type Environmentalists?

 In recent weeks, there's been chatter on social media and news reports of a potential 'Green' RAF (Red Army Faction) being created out of thin air, and conducting terror in support of an environmental policy.

Odds of this?  Police, for the most part....don't discus this.  It's mostly journalists, and hyped-up younger pro-environmental folks. 

If you ask me for a humble view?  I'd say that several hundred individuals exist today in Germany....probably between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five, with the mentality and belief that RAF-action is now necessary to 'save' the Earth.

What type of actions might be seen in the beginning?  Mostly demonstrations on major avenues or autobahns....to stall traffic and create 'staus'.  Depending on what state you are in....the cops might hold back in the first couple of months.  If you went into places like Stuttgart....there won't be a lot of patience in handling this, and you'd probably be taken to a holding cell, and face some judge in three months.  

This putting the new coalition government into a difficult spot?  Absolutely....the Green Party won't be able to do much in support of the group.

How many revolutionary types now exist in Germany?  That's something that is hard to figure.  If you combined the anti-capitalists, the Antifa folks, the potential RAF-Green folks?  It might go above 20,000 nationally.  

Trying to compare it to the 1970s?  Well...everything is done by social media, WhatsApp, and emails....so the cops could easily get some tip, and in a matter of  weeks....track down a 10-person 'cell'.  I don't see you being able to 'hide' as well as people did in the 1970s.

I also don't see this group being willing to go out and kill people over their agenda.  They might destroy buildings, burn cars, or damage commerce....to send their message.  

So settle back in 2022, and prepare yourself for a new introduction of problems.
