I don’t think it’s out of touch to understand how a protest works. If a protest annoyed you once and made you dislike the cause, that doesn’t seem like the protest was doing it wrong, it seems like you were never going to be sympathetic to the cause.
You’re very much wrong there, I’m actually quite sympathetic to their cause, and would like to reduce my carbon footprint. But stopping people from going about their day just gives the movement a bad name.
Why won’t everyone just do their protests respectably (in that small square over there between 5-6pm on Tuesdays of the second week every other month).
Ironically, people on your side seem to specifically NOT know how protests work. Pissing off the masses does not bring people to your cause.
I’m also sympathetic to the cause and do a lot to improve my carbon footprint, but I’m the bad guy here because I believe that simply pissing off others will not reduce the worlds reliance on oil.
What has actually been achieved with these protests? Do people exist who didn’t know oil was bad until they saw someone holding up traffic or chaining themselves to a football goal? It seems like disruption for disruptions sake to me.
You’re completely wrong. There was never a protest that didn’t piss off the masses. There was never a cause that didn’t piss off the masses. Everything pisses off the masses because the masses are whiny crybaby snowflakes. So what is your solution? Sit back and let the government kill us?
Yup. Unfortunately, these people live in an echo chamber of like minded people, so they never realize how far out of touch they are.

Also make sure it’s quieter than the sound of traffic.
Is it possible there’s something between those two options that could work more effectively and piss fewer people off…?
It’s been tried. There isn’t.
