From a recent ruling in the UK.

β€œI acknowledge that at least some of the concerns motivating you are, at least to some extent, shared by many,” he said.

β€œBut the plain fact is that each of you has some time ago crossed the line from concerned campaigner to fanatic. You have appointed yourselves as the sole arbiters of what should be done about climate change, bound neither by the principles of democracy nor the rule of law.

β€œAnd your fanaticism makes you entirely heedless of the rights of your fellow citizens. You have taken it upon yourselves to decide that your fellow citizens must suffer disruption and harm, and how much disruption and harm they must suffer, simply so that you may parade your views.”

What an absolutely tone deaf and patronizing statement. The world is ending but god forbid we inconvenience anyone while trying to do something about it.

No, no you misunderstand. Let me translate:

"Die in a hole you filthy peasant. Your life is expendable and you won't be missed when the police gun you down in the climate riots 20 years from now."

Yes the harm of being delayed a coupled minutes while siting in a nice climate controled vehicle that has comfy seats and an entertainment system.

you

pronoun

used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing.

"are you listening?"

He was referring to them collectively. In English, "you" can refer to one person or a group of people.
