After three weeks of recurring road and autobahn blockades, Berliners will ask themselves: Why is it always Berlin?
Because your city has a particularly large number of supporters of the "last generation" who agitate against the alleged "annihilation of society" by fossil fuels?
On the other hand, many of the mostly young people who cling to the road travel from far away.
Or is it about the proximity to politics when they demand that Chancellor Olaf Scholz stop oil drilling in the North Sea?
Antisocial Selfishness
The reason may be that they can live out their alleged “social resistance”, which is in fact antisocial selfishness, more easily in Berlin than anywhere else.
Word will have gotten around among the activists that there is hardly anything to fear in Berlin.
Although diligent investigations into coercion are being initiated, warnings that charges may be filed were brusquely rejected by the Attorney General as “political wishful thinking”.
Where would we be, one might add sarcastically, if the Berlin judiciary were to step in and do their job for a society doomed to collapse?
At least the police can still be relied on.
Conditions in Berlin mean: The "last generation" can be happy that they don't get stuck on Berlin's asphalt.
