“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
If it makes someone think twice about buying an SUV when they can take a train then I think it's a good thing. Although there are plenty of working class people who are car dependent because of crappy public transport infrastructure in the US, and some SUVs are a good option for driving in snowy winter weather (and in fact other options like a 2WD car may not work at all) and it wouldn't be right for them to be caught up in this. Of course it's easy to tell them apart from the petit bourg big car obsessed - one of them is usually 10 model years behind the other

No one is gonna be like "Oh no, guess I'll have to learn how to ride the bus"
They're going to demand greater police presence and get more paranoid and violent
Now, if they could do this to, I don't know, a fleet of ICE trucks or the ham wagons they put in Piggy Parking, that would be great
These actions objectively reduce SUV sales in affected areas, which objectively reduces CO2 emissions.
Last months book recommendation on this site was “how to blow up a pipeline” which goes into this exact same tactic in greater detail. Read it, and stop worrying about inconveniencing the worst people you know irl.
srsly, can't understand why people are pearl clutching here unless it's the feds clutching at the bukkake that the oil execs dressed them with

Honestly not digging it up for you, no shade just trying to cook dinner. 2019 Sweden actions like this led to a reduction in SUV sales in affected areas, that should be enough to go on to find the primary source.

Can't find anything either.
Dealership -> Cameras, high alert after the few cases, high risk for everyone involved
Private house -> cameras, increased police presence after a couple visits, high risk for getting shot by angry Chuds or pigs
I think most of those cases were done at SUVs which were parked outside on the road.

As someone who lives in a European city with a robust public transit network, if you had a family with a bunch of kids you'd probably want a car anyway, unless you were like a fanatically committed Green Party voter

Eh, maybe if you're just zipping around town it's fine. However if you live in a poor town or a poor part of town my experience has been that the city does not give enough of a fuck to do a good job plowing. Plus ice and slush are still a concern even on plowed roads sometimes. And some folks don't have a job they can afford to miss or be late for when the weather turns shitty.
I do agree on the 4wd cars not needing to be big point
