    Hear me out Samoa, they will never listen to you. Here’s what you need yo do: start sending organized small groups of individuals to polluter countries to plant C4 on fossile infrastructure

      Would that work? Maybe for a second. But the global north would rather nuke Samoa off the face of the face of the Earth than stop their lucrative and polluting activities. They’d craft the narrative of Samoa being a major threat anyway.

        Nobody nukes a populated island because 12-something isolated citizens blew up some refineries and a pipeline

        The head of state will claim they’re isolated terrorist groupuscules, condemn any and all forms of violence, allow some western army to occupy samoa to maintain peace as a status quo

        Meanwhile you now have everyone talking about the Samoan cause, lots of people saying Samoa did nothing wrong, they will take whatever Samoan moderate is ready to get them out of the public opinion shithole and it is going to be that woman from that article who is pushing a milquetoast diplomatic approach or somebody like her, except this time with 100x the voice

        It’s just the suffragettes all over again every single time the little guy with a rightful cause is pushed to violence
