MODERATORS
They targeted only the most harmful cars (SUVs) and they did so in the most rich districts of the city, hitting the privileged upper class - which is responsible for most of the worlds pollution. In the face of climate change only car fetishistic troglodytes will criticize this reasonable and non-violent action.
You could have made your point without this little bit- you're perhaps unintentionally pushing away people who aren't as familiar with hamburg who saw this action and thought "why do this when car pollution is such a tiny contributor as compared to emissions by big companies".
I agree with the approach of changing the industry first, because changing the consumer behavior first is impossible. There are simply too many car fetishistic troglodytes who simply don´t give a fuck about mother nature.
