If The Last Generation Activists Were A Business.....

 For the past couple of months, I've viewed a good bit of the activist action around Germany, how the news media covers them, and how the general public sees the intent.

If the Last Generation activists were a business.....they are selling a crappy product with amusing dedication, and the customer base....even with the hyped-up news media.....just aren't buying into the message or the 'brand'.

Germans having to explain why they are late to a dental appointment, or a job interview, or a cancer treatment....by stating they were held for almost an hour while cops were detaching the 'kids' from the glue on the pavement?  It's not exactly something that any German views with a positive outlook.

The message that gets brought up on the chat forum business?  Well....splash-splash-splash....all things are evil, and you need to just take everything serious.  If you lined up priorities and just said international flights for ten consecutive years would end (no one travels more than 500 km)....then fine, do it and get on with priorities after that point.  

So people view the whole glue thing, childish fits and behavior demonstrated....like 8-year old kids cut loose from mature adult control, and disrupting society to get their way accomplished.  

My suggestion would be for the activists to settle back and find a brand/message that is more easily assembled and says the solution is A, B and C.  We don't need to destroy civilization or wreck capitalism to reach x-solution.  I should also note.....if we do A, B, and C.....then discover that they had nil-effect on the issue....I might turn to the activists and ask if they really understood the problem in the first place.

Also, for the news media.....you might want to ask the audience how often they are hitting 'mute' when some 2-minute report comes up, and if anyone really cares for the messaging that comes from the news crowd.
