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

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

I wrote that badly. I wanted to say that this sort of activism is valuable because it starts conversations like this. Which educates people, raising awareness.
