Well, what a weird response. Comments like “when we start resorting to dirty tricks”. Say, what? You response to people that you perceive to be doing the “wrong thing” is to “do another wrong thing”. Didn’t your parents ever tell you about two wrongs not making a right.
But who is the “sociopath” - surely the self-avowed anarchist is probably more likely to fit into that category.
Of course, the protagonist here, identifies as being a “bike mechanic” from Melbourne - have you actually traveled anywhere near the location in question? Have you actually read the environmental submissions associated with this? Apparently such facts fall by the wayside, when indignation reigns.
Speaking of Bikes, I can remember years ago, in Townsville, a strident protestor against the Greenvale Nickel Mine (aand Yabula Refinery) - he was one of the “Sole possessions were two changes of clothes and his racing bicycle” types. He asked “Just what we do need nickel for”. I pointed out, that one of the main things was to stop bicycles rusting (Pre carbon fibre days). That shut him up.
