    Yeah, but, unfortunately,

    1. Your opinion is not unpopular, it’s the most common one

    And

    1. This is a proven, and wonderfully effective way to protest. Getting the media to report on things at all, is an enormous, and repeatedly researched driver of discussion and awareness. And the climate emergency is not acted upon enough, and the continued criminal actions of the Oil industry are also painfully underreported.

    I wish from the bottom of my heart this natural sense of justice of yours was the way to solve these issues, but those rich fucks are literally relying on, and fanning the flames of this mental pitfall, to keep people more passive on this issue.

    Data and science says this protest, just like most other protests, works.

    Protest in any way you see fit, different kinds of protest “work” on different people and structures. Just go and actually participate in whichever you believe in.
