Recently, a 12-year-old girl named Lilli was sitting on an exit road off Autobahn 100 in Berlin.

It was Monday morning, the asphalt was very cold, but Lilli wasn't afraid, even though she should be at school at that time.

Now she was sitting here, with a safety vest and a dozen other climate protectors next to her, so that the backlog blocked the entire Autobahn.

Some of the drivers lost their composure.

It was rush hour, they had appointments, climate change wasn't their main problem at this time.

One got out, stood in front of Lilli and yelled: "I have children who have to go to school.

You vacate here.

Otherwise, I really freak out here.” He explained that he drives disabled children and that he urgently needs to move on.

"Otherwise I'll drive you over here!

This can not be true!"

Another dragged one of the climate protectors across the asphalt by the yoke.

People drove very close to the blockers, as if considering stepping on the gas.

The police came.

And right in the middle: Lilli.

A child illegally blocking a road was something new.

"It was frustrating for her to be yelled at and not yell back," says her mother, Lena Schiller.

The press release from the Last Generation Uprising group said of Lilli: "She was previously active with Fridays for Future.

But that didn't do enough.

According to Lilli, blockages are now needed in order to finally 'really change something'".

The tone of Last Generation Uprising is very different from Fridays for Future.

The group gave the chancellor an "ultimatum" that expires this Sunday.

Olaf Scholz should comment on how he wants to implement the group's demands for more climate protection.

If he doesn't, "we are forced to stand up for the survival of everyone with civil resistance.

In this case, we will “disrupt” and “pause” vulnerable infrastructure such as ports and airports as an expression of our unchanged fossil everyday life in this country.

This is the announcement of acts of sabotage of critical infrastructure.

Possibility of a "green RAF"

The escalation is well thought out, it has an intellectual foundation.

One of the pioneers is Tadzio Müller, a political scientist with a doctorate, who was a consultant for climate issues at the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation for a long time and co-founded the “Ende Gelände” group, an alliance of opponents of lignite coal that is “left-wing extremist,” according to the intelligence agency.

If politics continues like this, there will “possibly” be a “green RAF”, says Müller.

A terrorist group that commits attacks to enforce a stricter climate policy.

Müller himself is against terror, but he is in favor of "peaceful sabotage," as he puts it.

For example, unscrewing the screws on a lignite excavator.

He uses words like "self-defence" or "climate emergency law" to justify illegal actions.

He strictly rejects violence against people.

With the “Last Generation” non-violence only works in one direction.

The roadblocks are peaceful but irritate motorists to the point of losing control.

Many scold, yell and beg.

During one action, a car driver hit his face with his hand, and the activist endured it stoically.

He didn't hit back, but continued to block the man.

The driver was to blame for the violence, of course, a roadblock does not justify violence.

But the activist had also done something.

He had taken away people's ability to move about freely.

Drivers couldn't just walk away and leave their blocked car on the street.
