What the actual fuck am I on about? Rudé Booty much?

I’m talking about loud voices with good opinions/intentions being silenced by the government so the government can keep power and profit before said voices get too loud.

My reaction was to do with your insinuation this has anything to do with green peace. Which it categorically does not

The top-level comment was an allusion to the JFK quote "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

He was using it as a counter example to the idea that if peaceful protest is being blocked, violent ones will be more effective. Not sure I agree with his take, but he's definitely not blaming Greenpeace for this.
