100% agree. Just being a nuisance isn’t enough. These protestors really ought to be attacking fossil fuel execs.

folks need to start causing real, material damage to fossil infrastructure at the least

this wont stop unless the expenses of fossil fuels outweigh the profits, and people need to become those expenses

That’s a more ideal way of doing targeting big businesses and fossil fuel execs through peaceful forms of protesting a good example of this is how some people in London and Glasglow are protesting ULEZ by vandalising ULEZ cameras if your going protest make sure it doesn’t affect anyone in the general public

You do it then. Be the change you want to see in this world.

It still wouldn’t change anything, other then get more security and anonymity for their immediate replacements.

What do you recommend? not being disruptive means you are completely ignored by everyone.

Well There’s plenty of ways of protesting and getting the word out that don’t involve getting in the way or destroying/nicking property you can have peaceful demonstrations ideally populated like a city square where you and a massive crowd of people gather and make your voices heard im fairly certain that’s called a rally or you use art as a way of protesting graffiti etc you can also boycott a organisation or government institution and you can do a picket protest as well

That shit doesn’t work.

Real change happens when everyone is pissed.

List some important global changes that happened because people protested in a way that did not bother anyone.
