This isn’t “a few people glued to a road,” this is a threat. “Fix society, or tensions will escalate.”

The way you keep minimizing these efforts tell me you either don’t really understand protests or are actively trying to make them seem trivial.

I saw you complaining earlier about them “shoving moral superiority down your throat,” which is curious. It’s like your biggest problem with them is just that you have to hear about it.

I’m sure your shed is nice. We need other people to build nice sheds.

I’m not minimizing their efforts. I’m pointing out that they are being annoying at best with no hope of affecting real change. It’s protesturbation. Tantrumism. They’re not terrorizing anyone with their stunts, they just being annoying.

I was protesting and active to save the St. Lawrence River when it was so polluted you couldn’t eat the fish. We did outreach and educatiom without annoying and endangering people. That was almost 50 years ago. I was very active in the straw bale building community for years helping other people to build straw bale buildings of all types. I trained the building officials to inspect straw bale buildings and intervened in disputes between people wanting to build a straw bale building and building officials with a 100% success rate.

Don’t lecture me about protest or change.

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
