I’m not angry. I’m disappointed by performative radicalism of an important cause. It doesn’t help the message as much as it strokes the egos of those involved, and will likely be discrediting to those we need to reach.

Really? Because I’m seeing it being talked about a lot.

Debating the method of the performance is not the same as compelling people to learn about climate change and join protests. If anything, it has the opposite effect. It’s only compelling to those already in the fold, and therefore counterproductive to the cause.

It’s also leading to discussions between those complaining about and those “already in the fold”, facilitating the spread of information.

It is though. We’re talking about it now, but responding your disproving your own theory.
