I donβt get it. For me it seems like βitβs not 100% the best way, so you have to stop it.β Sure, a car-free, equal society that treats nature as family is the way to go. But why do they try to kill the first movers? Because Elon Musk is a weirdo? Why not stopping the coal diggers a few kilometers to the east? Or the chemical plants to the south first? Thatβs such a brain fuck.

Instead of voting you down, people should explain why they disagreed with you. Because I also don't really get it. I know there's the problem of siphoning drinking water in the region, but besides that the Tesla fab seems better than every single combustion engine fab in Germany, but AFAIK there have never been any significant protests against these.
Edit:
So I guess the protests want to tackle working conditions there, too.
Edit 2:
Great, now I'm getting down voted too.
there were protest against the vw project trinity factory which led to them cancelling the plans. they wanted to build evs there π€·
The coal companies don't say mean words on Twitter, so clearly they are better than Tesla for the environment.
Because psyop.
Which isn't to say that there aren't genuine participants; only that it is notable that XR, JustStopOil, InsulateBritain, et al all materialised at the same time, seemingly from nothing, with expensive publicity campaigns, and performing actions guaranteed to be alienating at best.
All these groups fighting climate change materialized as we blew past our agreed reduction deadlines without doing anything?
Yeah. A complete mystery.
