Intervention – “How to Blow Up a Climate Protest”

• Attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, digital bureaucracies, and the German train network illustrate that infrastructure has become a battlefield in the European heartlands of the 21st century. Amid Russia’s war against Ukraine, German authorities and security experts render these attacks as part of a hybrid war in which secure infrastructure is vital for the defence of the nation. This securitisation coincides with the radicalisation of climate protest that targets infrastructure to bring environmental concerns back on the political agenda. Will the rhetorical and practical armament for new hybrid wars be used to dismantle, or “blow up”, militant branches of the climate movement, and what does this means for the right to dissent to climate capitalism?
