Greenpeace retira sus no amenazas.
Ayer hablábamos de los modos de Greenpeace:
Greenpeace no es broma; saben donde vives.
--La presión y oprobio provocadas han sido suficiente para que lo retiren de su web. Empezaron pretendiendo que “sabemos donde vives” no se puede interpretar como una amenaza. Hoy recapitulan, y aunque insisten en que no hay amenaza, admiten que no es de recibo, y lo quitan. Algo es algo.
También conviene recordarles que la frase final de aquel horrible post no parece sostenerse:
And we be many, but you be few.
Parece que no éramos tan "few". En otro caso no hubieran tenido que quitarlo, tras tratar de disimular.La explicación:
Primero la caca de vaca:
You’ve probably come here to read a blog post written by our colleague Gene, in which he addresses climate sceptics by saying:
“Let's talk about what that mass civil disobedience is going to look like."If you're one of those who have spent their lives undermining progressive climate legislation, bankrolling junk science, fueling spurious debates around false solutions, and cattle-prodding democratically-elected governments into submission, then hear this: We know who you are. We know where you live. We know where you work. And we be many, but you be few.”
Well, we’ve taken down that post from our website. It’s very easy to misconstrue that line, take it out of context and suggest it means something wholly different from the practice of peaceful civil disobedience, which is what the post was about. Anyone who knows Gene knows he’s an entirely peaceful guy. In the interest of transparency we have moved it off site to this location, where you can read the offending quotes in context and judge for yourself:
Y luego la cruda realidad:We got this one wrong, no doubt about it. I’m holding up my hands on behalf of the organisation and saying sorry for that. Peaceful action is at the very core of what we do, so any language that even comes close to suggesting that’s not the case is something we cannot support.
