The planet is being destroyed and the politicians are not doing enough. So activists protest. That's good! I can't imagine being angry at climate activists for ~inconveniencing~ my day; after all, the real culprits are the politicians who don't do enough!
When extreme climate collapse really kicks in, the average person will wish it were some protesters disrupting their commute for a few hours on a weekday vs literal breakdown of infrastructure and society indefinitely.
That's the spite I'm embracing at this point. When the world is boiling, and they lament to the skies? I'll be one of the last few, using their last moisturized breaths to laugh in those settler's faces. If we can't have justice, if we can't be properly recompensed for history? I'll accept spite and revenge at this point.
I used to agree but now I do not anymore. Politicians want to get elected, so they say and impement stuff people like. If people wanted real change, then we would have politicians in power who would implement these changes. But (most) people don't want that, they'd rather be lied to, everything is fine, we've got it under control, you don't have to change, trust us, keep shopping.
