No matter what you’re protesting, it’s unlikely that you’ll endear hearts and minds to your cause if you squat in the middle of the road and impede everyday traffic. Because if there’s one thing human beings hate more than just about anything else, it’s getting stuck in gridlock.

And it seems at least a few Germans have had enough.

In just the latest video showing fed-up Europeans taking matters into their own hands in dealing with climate nuts - and there’ve been more than a few - a man can be seen walking along a line of protesters who’ve taken up residence in the middle of a busy street and shoving them out of the way.

Actually, “shoving” seems a polite way of putting it. “Hurling” might be a bit more accurate.

When they're not busy tossing mashed potatoes and paint on priceless works of art, climate activists have regularly resorted to using their bodies to block traffic on busy highways and urban thoroughfares to bring attention to their cause, which usually involves banning oil and taking mankind back to the caveman days of rubbing sticks together and bashing each other in the head with clubs. Activists most recently blocked the road to the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada - which, frankly, could be considered a favor to humanity, if they didn't also block moms trying to get their children medical care and keep out-of-work people from making their job interviews.
