How does this harden public opinion against their cause? This is the type of shit we want to see. There’s a difference between this and inconveniencing those who are commuting to work.

Activists doing things activists like to see, won’t motivate many others than the people who already are motivated.

We were all clueless about this at one time. Conversations like this educate people, I think it’s obvious a lot more people will be upset with the emissions of private jets after this, than before the group vandalized.

But this is the point. Conversations will do it, activists like this won’t. I don’t think its obvious or even feasible, that many or any will change their mind about emissions based on these activists vandalizing planes.

I do support the cause, but I don’t understand the means
