Yeah, from experience having been around these people, this is what the Greens are like, literally everywhere…
Admittedly they weren’t, when they first started, in the 70s and early 80s, but they very quickly became that, sometimes even led by the same individuals who had run the previous, actually sometimes reasonable environmental campaigns…
Now, that’s pretty much all they are. Here, there and everywhere, lol.
I did an exchange to Germany, when I was in school. It went really, really badly (one of my many regrets), but one thing which I do distinctly remember was my “host mother” taking me to a couple of environmental protest events…
They were really wacky, even by the standards of what I had seen back home, lol… Even at the time, I realised these people were a bit “out there”, and that was long before the “woke” wave! 😂
On this note: never let Greens into your government.
They fucked up really badly down here, too, at both a state and national level.
Just… it’s one of those things that you should avoid at all costs. Much like, for Germany and Poland and the rest of Central Europe, electing actual communists…
Green party is a special case of ... special.
They alternate tons of shit by gender. And women start.
1st woman, 2nd man, 3rd woman, ....
During party conferences this can lead to funny things like no woman wants to say anything and thus the speaking time ends and men who wanted to say more are not allowed to speak.
Also obviously applies for political jobs - women get dibs first.
It is the Green Party so I fully expect something like this. The she will get replaced by the next wave of trendy minorities

Back then the people that were out there at least didn’t have the same power.
