Globe-Trotting Climate Activist Fined 100,000 Euros After Blocking Frankfurt Airport

Jet-setting climate street-blocker glues himself to Frankfurt airport runway
by AR Göhring at EIKE

A year and a half ago, a climate street-blocking couple became infamous for blocking a federal highway near Stuttgart – “for the climate” –  then traveling to Thailand (and Bali?) for months, skipping their court case to do so.

When online BILD and others made the double standards public, the perpetrator Yannick S. wrote a letter to the Berlin newspaper taz, in which he made a hilariously defiant statement. When it came to light that Yannick S. had dropped out of engineering school and was involved in the construction of combustion engines, it was quite clear that street-blocker and his partner were not the least bit concerned about “the climate”.

The couple probably only used the hip topic to pursue individual interests. This may be the assumption of stardom, which later leads to a well-paid, low-effort job at an NGO (“The work is done by others”, Helmut Schelsky 1974). Or it may be a certain pleasure in the suffering of the working population.

Nothing seems to embarrass Yannick S., which is why he glued himself to the tarmac at Frankfurt Airport after returning from his upper-class vacation under palm trees.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
