Activism, agency, and the escape from mundane domesticity: The curious case of Judith Beadle, 43 year-old mother of two, climate vandal and self-gluing street activist
Meet Judith Beadle. She is a dead-eyed 43 year-old Letzte Generation activist from Berlin who first came to the notice of the German public for gluing herself to a Munich street last November. The action won her nearly a month of preventive custody in Munich-Stadlheim, where she reports

Yes, she's suffering from clinical depression and a profound inability to connect with her children and therefore desperately seeking connection with people to whom she owes no demands of care and self-mastery. This is more common of women than we want to acknowledge, and it's not just some sort of post-modern phenomenon that can be cured by telling the little women that their highest fulfillment can be found in the home. Not even 100% of female cats have perfect maternal instincts.
This really is a matter of you got the stuff or you don't. Our Judith is sublimating her desire to escape actual real motherhood by pretending--perhaps most profoundly to herself--a maternal care for the earth and its creatures. Plenty of parents, male and female, like her. You might say Gandhi and MLK Jr. were part of her tribe, too.
These climate cultists - like others stricken by various ideologies - have no higher order purpose. Many don't (and won't) have kids. So they get five cats and devote their lives to their 'new' gods yet call themselves atheists.
How can that family afford to live? Food is so expensive and the husband is a comedian? There’s no material for comedy in that household, that’s for sure, unless you decide to mock mental illness. Pretty clear these groups prey on unhappy people like this- now she is grasping onto her new religion (cult) with such ferocity to fill the void inside of herself that her whole family will pay the price with her mental descent into full-throated instability. Wow. Those poor kids.
I'm increasingly convinced that what is afflicting our society is ultimately a crisis of meaninglessness. William James was right: we need a moral equivalent of war.
She reads about Ghandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. whose civil disobedience she wants to emulate. What she does not understand is that civil disobedience only works in societies which respects individual rights and the rule of law. If Ghandhi or King had protested in Mao's China, Stalin's Russia or Pol Pot's Kampuchea they would have been executed or placed deep in the bowels of a gulag never to be known by anyone.
I think she’s dead-eyed because she’s suffering from clinical depression. I think the whole Climate Apocalypse cult might just be a mental health issue.
Please excuse me, but I don't think I understand the word "letzte" as the Beadle is using it in the phrase "letzte generation" although I am sincerely trying. The word cannot mean "last" since she has children and they are clearly of a generation after her by definition. So how is she any part of "the last generation"?
Isn't it the case that she is a narcissist who believes her views should be forced upon everyone else? Perhaps she shouldn't be surprised if her violent actions against travellers are misunderstood.
She looks vegan eyed to me. Who wants to bet she also bought in to the 'cow farts' ruining the planet.
Thing is, anyone who knows cows, as I do, knows they don't actually fart, They are fore end fermenters. Unlike vegans aka hind end fermenters who, as we all know, fart ad nauseum.
of course her statement that the ultra rich are the main culprit is right. I just read that gates has 4 private jets. but soon her children will be sleeping on the street. Is that what she wants? this is not the way to go. Better sit on the back seat, non complying with any govt missteps. Sooner or later, things will change. The Missouri court has upheld the sentence against the govt. NYC is rehiring teachers who did not take the jab. And lots of people are waking up to what is going on. It won't be long now, before the whole whorehouse comes tumbling down. The German app crash was in the news, and Italian papers are more and more stating, that either the jabs are questioned for sudden deaths, or even affirming so.
And yes, she is dead-eyed. A zombie, a brainwashed skin without a heart.
What’s bizarre to me about this is that she’s willing to believe worst case scenarios but doesn’t take any time to consider the dire predictions made in her youth and evaluate whether they’ve come true. (Spoiler alert - they haven’t!) Also, if she’s so certain the earth is going to end from climate change, she ought to take a trip to China where most co2 emissions (proportionately) are produced. But she won’t - because she knows it would likely cost her her life there. She isn’t truly a martyr. She is enjoying the fame and notoriety in Germany knowing the worst that can happen is she’ll land in jail.
Meanwhile she is missing out on years of her children’s lives that she’ll never have an opportunity to be part of again. The kids are going to grow into adults who view her as crazy and missing from key moments of their childhood. And eventually (I hope) the husband will divorce her.
There is nothing good about what she is doing and radicalized is really a good word for it. I feel sad for the children who are growing up without a mother and who are steeped in fear rather than experiencing the wonders and magic of childhood.
These people are so ridiculous.... for starters , why are they using glue and paint? Both petroleum based products. I don’t agree with their “environmentalism” but they would do so much better with a different ( more mature) marketing plan.....

“I would rather forego Christmas with my children than watch as they’re robbed of their future,” she told the press.
Bet you a dollar to a donut her kids were fine being free of her vermin presence for the holidays!!

"She is a dead-eyed 43 year-old" ....

Cult indeed!
Four climate cultists disrupted the US Open tennis tournament this week, with one reportedly gluing his feet to the grandstand floor.
I said then, Fine! Leave him there! Give him occasional sips of water--on humanitarian grounds--but no food, no bathroom breaks.
Perhaps this lunatic could be left glued in the middle of the street, surrounded by traffic cones, on humanitarian grounds.

Just run a few over. That will stop it.
I feel as upset as her but at the climate nutters and net zero proponents
She's thrown her children into the fires of Moloch.
