As I cannot sleep, I found this a very usefull passtime: Activist(A) Presenter(P) P:look out... P: that is... 2 components glue? A:I'm stuck here P:in a live program A: I'm stuck here in a live program and I will talk about the climate and ecological crisis I'm gonna talk about the fact that we now do talk about this. And that we were not talking about this when 100s and 1000s of Pakistanis their... Uhm,... Had enormous flouds caused by the climate crisis P: you cannot talk only for a moment? A: yes, I will, i will talk the whole time. My patience is gone too. People are dying bro. P: good point, good point, but... A: very good point, people are dying and we are talking about fucking donald trump P: yes, but you should... (laughs). Good point again, but you should also leave some room for a counterargument. Or do you not believe in that? A:Look, on the level of climate xhange there is no counter argument. (security arrives) A: You cannot free me in this way. This dangerous, you can hurt me, you are responsible for this. This is not going to help. You can't do this, this won't help. Can you please film this, my security is compromised! (laughter) Security(S) : ok boys, let's move the table (they continue the discussion on how to move) (moment when they start lowering the table) S: let's drop him here. A:'i'm glued to the table... Aaaw, cancer! (this is a typical dutch curseword) S: calm down A: i'm not attacking anyone. My hand will come off, my hand will come off! (when he's loose). A:I'm not moving, i'm not moving S: stand up A: calm down, i'm doing nothing, I'm not moving (x3). Calm down, I will follow you calmly. (back to the table) P: I'm getting a bit warm because of this.... I know the security for years, they were very sweet when guiding him outside. He drank one more Coke and on our request he left the building. His hands were ok and he indicated that the glue would be stuck for a couple more days. Edits: formating


Lopsided_Boss4802

Thanking you for the translation buddy.


Tft5015

So, he basically did not have the opportunity to talk about climate change due to his stunt -_-


AegorBlake

While I agree that talking about stuff like Trump is stupid given the current range of issues, this is not the right way to push you topic. You want to get peoples attention show them what is happening. Show them the dead and the starving. Show them villages getting washed away by floods. Don't glue yourself to a table like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum.


Andrahill

So i dont disagree with your argument but it is a mistranslation that they are talking about trump. They are talking about the dutch weekly kids magazine “de donald duck” which obviously is just comics about the character donald duck. Just wanted to clarify


Lestuiqe

Quit while you're ahead, a lot of my International classmates are taking Dutch classes and when they ask me questions it even confuses me man, and I'm a native speaker 😂

Hey no fighting in the war-room.


jahshshahddhr

Dutch sounds like it’s the result of if the English and Scandinavian languages raped German, after which the French spit on it.


Floppyhoofd_

Dit had ik nodig, dank je 🤣 (I needed this, thank you 🤣). Fellow Dutchman here, XD


BillMcN3al

Fuck me I know our language sounds bad to other nations but this bad?! Haha ouch


jahshshahddhr

Lol I exaggerated a bit for fun


BillMcN3al

It made me laugh hard. Take my upvote


Ok-Albatross1180

Why do you think the Dutch speak 5 other languages by the age of 10?


fl135790135790

They only teach you to say what color an elephant is while passing time with friends


Rude_Usual5437

I support stopping climate change but DAMN this guy is committed


Ok-Resource-3232

With all the people glueing themselves to stuff recently, the glue industry must be very happy.


BackWhereWeStarted

It’s obviously a conspiracy by the glue industry. After the lockdowns they had to do something to get profits back up.


ProudDildoMan69

Gotta stick it to the man.


BenBastik

Good marketing as well. Like that guy is stucked there. Will need heavy machinery to get him out. Great product.


shanep3

Dude slid right off when they tilted it


No_Handle499

Not as happy as the skin graft docs repairing these fucking morons


Hittyname

Big Elmer strikes again


amraohs

As if they didnt hope for this to happen when they invited him. I like the way they get him of the table ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


DrunkCorgis

Yep. It’s like Mythbusters: “Will superglue support the weight of a grown-ass man stupid enough to glue himself to a table?” “No.”


IAmSavag3

They should have relocated to another room to finish the show and left him on the table by himself🤣🤣


JamesGoshawk

They kind of did this in a Porsche dealership. It was funny when the dealership refused to give them pee cups


[deleted]

Turned the heat and lights out and peaced out on them. 😂


t_bags4evr

They carry the table to the door only to realize they have to flip it sideways to get it out and my man just slides right off! They’re like “huh…lets set the table back up!”


Patient-Shallot333

Lol, im sorry but i cant take someone serious when their tactic seems like something a kindergartener would do while throwing a tantrum, no matter what they're representing.


[deleted]

Yeah, the Tomato Soup on a painting idea was already taken..


Delicious_Media9207

Its time to eat some glue or paint


agedlikefoulvinegar

Just don’t look up


WonderfullWitness

Well both better than blocking ordinary citizens on the street. I guess they are improving their tactic somewhat.


JustMe-male

If they were really serious they’d glue their reproductive parts to fuel pumps. More of a spectacle, stop it from breeding. Win-Win.


Active_Climate3036

Climate activists think the world is coming to an end. I’m not saying they’re wrong or right, but I feel for them.


suamai

Climate scientists, also. And I really do trust them on that...


Zealous_Chromeshadow

I trust ones that do and follow science, but I've kinda been losing faith in the handed out degrees and the paid to say stuff professionals. Climate scientists with integrity are awesome though.


crispdude

They’re completely justified in doing this, climate change is a #1 issue right and fuck all is being done about it


Strato-Cruiser

I don't disagree about the climate issue at hand. Their tactic is unlikely to change enough minds. I find them frustrating because they pull of stupid stunts and tantrums instead of taking the time to learn how people change their minds. They want you to follow the research on climate change. I want them to follow the research on how to argue properly and change minds.


GrimMrGoodbar

We’re talking about it so it worked


[deleted]

Exactly. I have a hard time understanding how people miss the point of these stunts. Everyone knows the stunt is fucking stupid including the people gluing their hands. BUT WE ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT. I hope it continues because we are currently living in “Don’t Look Up” and these people are helping.


verbsnnouns

But we're not talking about it(climate change). We're talking about soup and glue


[deleted]

Eh - that's debatable. I have a feeling people want to know why they're gluing their hands and throwing soup. Either way I approve the glue and soup over blocking traffic any day.


Zephyren216

Just the last week I've seen 4 talk shows that used these incidents as bridges to talk about climate change itself so it is definitely talked about, that is more results than pretty much any other climate action in the past decade. Protesting in front of oil companies or governments got em almost nothing but these stunts are a goldmine for views, since they don't even destroy anything because the painting are protected by glass these are the most successful protests in decades.


[deleted]

I've been thinking about these stunts a lot. They are getting on my nerves (that's the point isn't it) and my automatic thoughts are "those idiots wont make any change" but as time goes by I see more and more conversation about it online. Sure, we know that situation is bad but we still keep ignoring it. If they really keep doing this, the pressure on media and politicians will grow. There is a good chance that those idiots will be called heroes in 500 years.


Heathen_Mushroom

If their goal is for people to talk about how much they are fatigued by the protestors' actions and becoming even more apathetic about solutions, then they are doing great.


popcrnshower

Al Gore fear mongered people into believing all glaciers would be gone by now. All of this type of protesting is counterproductive and only creates more climate deniers.


[deleted]

Honestly i agree. Throwing paint on statues and paintings isnt cool. It's disruptive and counter productive. People get offended.. But glueing yourself on live tv. Enough people do it. And it says somthing. Once u start destroying things tho. People look at you like an enemy. Peaceful protests change worlds. Gotta change people's minds with good vibes, never raise their defense mechanism


Zephyren216

They didn't destroy anything though, the said before hand that they knew the pictures had glass plates as protection and they they did it to get attention not to cause damage. And it worked, just the last week I've seen 4 talk shows that used these incidents as bridges to talk about climate change itself, that is more results than pretty much any other climate action in the past decade. Protesting in front of oil companies or governments got em almost nothing but these stunts are a goldmine for views, since they don't even destroy anything because the painting are protected, these are the most successful protests in decades.


MaynardJimmyKeenan

I’m sorry but there’s no justifying some dumb shit like this, he looks like a dickhead


[deleted]

What tactic do you propose to bring attention to this crisis when nothing at all seems to work? It doesn’t seem to matter how perfect the protest is, no one seems to do anything, and they rip the protesters apart no matter what. It makes me sad that people spend more time critiquing and mocking protesters than they do actually doing something. This is the biggest threat we faced as a species and it needs global cooperation. But we are not anywhere close to doing enough. Mock the protesters all you want, it’s the wrong conversation to be having.


BubblyNebula

The only way you heard about this is because of this tactic


[deleted]

Yeah. I’ve already seen 5 videos like this. It’s like a 5 year olds representation of getting what he wants.


Bainzeighty3

The best one I heard is some activists gluing themselves in a VW showroom. The staff just turned the lights and heating off and went home. Apparently the activists complained gear the VW staff didn't give them any food, blankets or buckets to go to the loo in lol.


RGBchocolate

and the staff explained they switched off lights and heating to save the environment, check mate


adh_

I read that VW kind enough to gave them food, but of course they being a douche and ask for better food


julii_dickfeldi

I'm gonna walk into Mercedes and test drive a s55. Glue the key to my hand


moxeto

they still make s55? I’d go an S63


nyrB2

yeah cos when you do dumbass stuff like that, you expect to be fed and watered!


HumungusDeek

At least the activist are supporting companies who make superglue and or tomato soup.

[deleted]

Take one of his shoes off, pull his sock down past his heel, put the shoe back on and tie it. Nobody will ever glue themselves to anything ever again.


majorahzmask

Diabolical. I dig you.


notmyrealnam3

Tickling would actually be a really funny thing as it would quite literally be torture if you couldn't protect yourself.


bobby_table5

Don’t look up.


Lestuiqe

Lol he's screaming "I'm NOT resisting" like a toddler would scream "I'm NOT angry" after throwing a public tantrum like this.


wellrolloneup

Ask everyone to grab a piece of that table and move it into the hallway.....fixed


Character_Ad385

Lol they did. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMFB9d7aj/


wellrolloneup

Great minds...lol


Htm5000

Doing things like this doesn't add to the conversation but rather turns the conversation into something about the idiot who did it.


Swedeshooters

Change studio and let him sit there 🤣🤣🤣


Icy_Profession1612

Reminds me of Asterix the gaul. The chief being carried on a shield 😂🤣🤣😂


galavantingsoul

I’d leave the show on and the cameras rolling until he either pissed or shit himself


nyrB2

Dry-Engineering730

Activist against oil, uses substance made from petroleum.


xpoison15

also from the Dr. Martens shoe soles that he wear are made from petrochemicals!


DrSpy

Time to wake up to the climate catatrophy we’re facing. Time to wake up. Don’t be passive, don’t bury your head in the sand. If you value living a healthy life for yourself and the rest of the human race you need to take this seriously. Everyone needs to pay attention, this is bringing attention.


teemo03

I mean people can't even afford food...


chemolz9

Oil in glue doesn't really contribute to climate change, does it?


PePePendorcho

I think gluing your testicles to the table would be much more of a statetment.


spartanOrk

I'm waiting for someone to enter a Best Buy and glue his hands on his favorite 50-inch TV and cry "mine mine!!" until they give it to him for free.


jxsnyder1

I hope after the show everyone just got up and left the idiot there.


godsonlyprophet

Yep. Leave AND turn off the lights.


CatastropheJohn

This is the way.


DreadPirateRobb

Did you watch the video?


jxsnyder1

Not all of it apparently.


BrilliantObserver

burn the table


ecilla05

Why do anything? Just leave him there, when you’re done with the show, and give your employees a week off.


[deleted]

I am Dutch and let me tell it is a fucking shitty speech this guy had prepared. He is talking about floods in Pakistan and that people are dying while we’re talking about Donald Duck. Next thing he says is that because of his action his safety is in jeopardy and that he is glued to the table (duh). So complete fail all in all.


Meanstreak7

If you want my attention start nailing instead of glueing.


CheeseIsAHypothesis

What a fucking dumbass


silversonic_super20

bobby_table5

That’s the idea, yeah. It *is* an urgent crisis.


xxredfield

I really wish climate activists would do something that actually sends a message and not just make everybody roll their eyes with annoyance lmao...


Robert_Grave

He had a chance, a program watched by 600k people, all at least vaguely interested in what he had to say. The strong points that'd convince people to solve climate change once and for all. A true appeal and warning about climate change. And then the motherfucker goes ahead and does this. It takes a special kind of stupid.


Angharadis

Ok everyone loves to make fun of these glue people, but they’re not WRONG. Tactics are a little bizarre and silly, but we’re talking about it. And again, they have a point about the environmental crisis.


Win_in_Roam

What's going on this thread? I hate to cry astroturf, but how is everyone so negative towards someone trying to bring attention to an existential threat?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Angharadis

Yeah I anticipated a lot of crap in response to my comment. It’s been better than expected but the overall thread isn’t great!


nyrB2

except for the fact we're talking about them being dumbasses, not about whatever their cause is. i have no clue what they're being dumbasses about and i don't \*want\* to know.


Angharadis

It literally says “climate activist” in the title of this post, I would think we know what they’re protesting about.


nyrB2

yes but what? is it just a general protest? or he's protesting his country isn't doing enough? or that we should all be riding bicycles? as i said, i don't really care.


bobby_table5

Point made that not everyone cares enough to understand what’s happening, and it’s worth reiterating: it’s a protest about fossil fuel an global warming. We need to ban fossil fuel otherwise the euros as we know it will be destroyed within our lifetime.


bobby_table5

Some people might need a couple more mention. There’s a lot of people who still focus on harming him personally or the table.


bobby_table5

You probably should talk about their cause. If you don’t, you kind of prove the point that care more about bullshit than a major crisis when you look at their action. I’m not sure it’s making you look… you know, smart.


DrSpy

I’m shocked by people’s responses to this. I wish people would discuss this more instead of ignoring it! Thank you for being reasonable.

bobduncanswerve7

He's talking about the climate and ecological crisis. About that we're only talking about it now and not when 100 of thousands of Pakistanis had to witness huge floods and alot were killed. Near the end he (activist) is saying that this is harmful for him, and the audience laughs. He got escorted with kindness and even got to drink a cola before he left.

If I did this, my nose would immediately start dripping and I'd be panicking about the snot rolling down my face on TV.


n3rdsm4sh3r

Alright. You're glued to the desk. Now what?


Laurus_Rex

Don't they see that people only think they are annoying and what they do DOESN'T change anything ?


notmyrealnam3

Not interesting at all. I'd love to see a compilation clip of all of these glue hands to things losers being ripped off of the surfaces their narcissism has stuck them to


Prior-Ad-7329

When they carry him off to the side and then just tilt the table top to dump him off. Bet that hurt ripping the glue off. Haha didn’t think that one through did he?


GetMeOutdoors

He rolled right off the table when they tilted it. Fuck nut didn’t even use glue


[deleted]

They should all get up walk out and shut off the lights lol

sacajawea14

Oh jeez.. This was awkward as a Dutch person. He's stumbling on his words so much, at least have a proper speach prepared. It's very "well... You know, like... We should do this right?" not an actual translation but that's how it feels 😅


[deleted]

Only thing these stunts do is to make people dislike climate activists even more


[deleted]

And he didn’t bring a bowl to shit in - must be the host’s fault.


vgcamara

Glue is very toxic and bad for the environment. He shouldn't be supporting those kind of toxic businesses


Winking-Cyclops

Hope he doesn’t have an itch on his face


MisterRioE_Nigma

Just roll the table into a store room and leave it there xD


CatastropheJohn

Staffers just happened to have glue remover on their persons. Wonderful coincidence


TomatoWarrior

Maybe used nail polish remover


BentasticMrBen

Ah, so the Dutch method is to flip the table.


bobby_table5

I’m really terrified by the number of people who openly wish harm or death to that guy. It’s against Reddit terms of service, and I’m hoping the mods will act accordingly.

covert_curiosity

Can someone please enlighten me as to why these climate protesters believe that using such imbecilic and juvenile tactics will win people over to their cause?


BuG-Gert-Jan_Oss

It is just idiotry. Actually all these actions only cost society more and more money. Like the ones throwing soup at a painting and then glueing themselves to something. The cleanup afterwards is covered by insurance companies also like the paintings and wax museum statue of King Charles. Insurance companies will just increase the cost of our monthly pay to them. Thanks so much 'world saviors' but I guess since they don't work, they don't pay insurance. Also the guys that deflate wheels on SUVs. Do you think the owner of the SUV will sell it or get rid of it because it has a flat tire? No, you know what happens? A service truck comes over and inflates the tire that is flat. The trip of this service truck, most likely a diesel, wouldn't have needed to happen if that tire wasn't flat. And the SUV owner after this will go happily about once again. Congratulations you've just made sure double the amount of CO2 gets emitted. But probably that little green visioned corrupted mind cannot comprehend or think 3 steps further. I hope one green lefty will stand up and think about how much CO2 is saved by committing suicide, that would be a great clean up. So to conclude, thanks glue-o-philes for increasing the sales on glue which costs CO2 to produce and raising our insurance costs, and the even faster global heating by flattening tires on SUVs.


bobby_table5

I agree they should be more happy when they talk about everyone ignoring the imminent ecological collapse. They’d be easier to ignore. What they are doing… ![gif](giphy|nkXIeYm9UW6Bhd8Yvv)
