I wonder how many of them took fossil fueled trips to Paris? How many are wearing clothes and stuff made with petroleum?
Protest Posters Targeting Toyota Debut at Paris Olympics
The Paris Olympics are now underway, and the effects of the competition on the surrounding city are numerous, including security checkpoints and transit changes. Some of the effects are a little more subtle than others. Parisians and visitors alike might see some posters up that at first look like advertisements for Toyota, a sponsor of both the Olympics and the Paralympics.
Examining the posters more closely reveals something a bit different, though: these aren’t ads for Toyota; rather, they’re protests against the automaker. The Art Newspaper has more details on the protest campaign, which reportedly features posters added to around 100 transit stops in Paris and several other French cities.
In a post on their Instagram account, the group Brandalism — who also targeted Wimbledon with similar techniques — stated their objection to Toyota’s Olympic presence. “Toyota’s sponsorship of the #Olympics is a gold-medal example of sportswashing, or polluting companies using high profile sponsorship deals to hide their massive emissions,” they wrote. The campaign is a collaboration between Brandalism and Résistance à l’Agression Publicitaire.
Seriously, it’s expected that around 15 million will travel from around the world to Paris for the Olympics and Paralympic Games. That’s just visitors, that doesn’t include all the athletes and staff.
Another one of the posters reads, “Art Belongs in Paris. Giant Polluters Do Not.” The images on some of them echo the work of Vincent van Gogh; it’s not hard to imagine a pedestrian glancing at one and taking it for an advertisement for an art exhibition, right up until the text comes into focus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many of the group ride on fossil fueled buses? Will these posters change anyone’s mind? Will anyone care?
Anyhow, a metal band I love, Gojira, who are French and really one of the top metal bands out there right now, opened up the games. This is amazing
Here is Gojira’s full performance at the Olympics!

So many idiots have been brainwashed about fossil fuels, energy, and climate with really bad science, or no science at all. Those people should be segregated from the rest of civilized society and made to live up their own self-declared principles. THe rest of us should not have to tolerate their bad behavior and disruptions.

Grand Chancellor for Life Trump will be able to arrange it!
Mumbles’ personal Supreme Court will no doubt be able to find the Constitutional grounds to support this superb idea.
3 out of 9 it’s his “personal Supreme Court”? More fun with numbers..
Leftists HATE being forced to live up to their own rules and policies. Those things are only meant for the rest of us, their neo-feudal serfs.
Right-wingers HATE being asked to live up to their own rules.
Alinsky #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
For example:
Thou shalt not lie, steal, covet, commit adultery, underreport income, rape, try to overturn an election, work on the Sabbath, have other gods…
Lot to work from…
Loves it when Rimjob (aka SMF) starts a’preachin.
Well it is Sunday and his wife is a White Christian Nationalist preacher.
So there’s that.
Left out, Thou shalt not commit abortion.
At least two abortions were the responsibility of the uber-violent Abortionist.
And Mumbles Trump, with his 60 year history of condom-free sex with girls from 13 years up, no doubt has paid for multiple abortions in addition to the one for the Playboy Bunny.
And this is really puzzling…
Abortions by religion
None – 38%
Catholic – 24%
Mainline Protestant – 17%
Evangelical Protestant – 13%
Other – 8%
The majority of American women aborting their babies are Christians!
We know, we know… the nuCon nuStrategy is not to make an argument but just to deny facts. You know, to mistrust everything.
The incredible energy that drove the cover-up of Biden’s senility by the members of the Democrat/media complex has now been transferred to their cover-up of Harris’s record. Can they do it? Yes, they can.

Can they do it? Yes, they can.
Maybe.
Toyota is the world’s leading manufacturer of hybrid vehicles. No, they’re not zero-emission, but they greatly reduce gasoline consumption.
Public transportation? It runs on electricity, but France generates roughly 70% of its sparktricity through nuclear power — the greenies hate nuclear power! — with oil and natural gas making up a significant part of the remainder. Hydroelectric contributes a significant amount. Even if they took public transportation, they weren’t using much solar!
