I fully agree we should be doing a lot more against climate change. The whole world should be.
That said these kind of protesters always look like clowns to me. Especially when their 'protest' is just to inconvenience the general public by blocking roads or pouring coloured liquid on something. You're not solving anything just being a cunt.
You can still dislike these people if you don't think they are making a difference. If they are not achieving results, these actions are just a detriment for everyone.
The “normal” forms of protest just don’t cut it anymore. When is the last time you’ve heard about one, let alone seen one? It’s a (relatively) harmless shout for attention for a very dire problem.
the german farmers did a "normal" protest (with roadblocks and running over police officers) and instantly got the politicians to act in their favor.
Sounds like the Dutch and Germans aren’t that different after all. Ours also ran over stuff with their tractors, blocked highways, rammed the main entrance of a city hall, and did some casual intimidation at a politician’s home address. Peaceful folk they are.
