minus-squareNester@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·7 days agoThe report this article is based on is actually called “On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries” The title of the article is a bit misleading including the term “rich countries”, especially as that term is not used once in the article. In my mind measuring the level of democracy is harder than the wealth of a nation.
