Political Memes

Would you say the same about black lives matter or the current anti trump protests?

If it was a couple of dudes every single time? Yeah, of course I'd say the same, because it'd be the same!

But it wasn't, was it? Both BLM and the anti-Trump protests where properly organised, MASS protests, so it was very different.

You are being hyper selective

And you're very judgemental of the person you imagine I am. Maybe wait until I respond to your questions before doing that in the future?

The message with the art is that it won’t exist if big oil isn’t stopped. It’s also an easy way to get in the papers without actually damaging the actual artwork

Yeah. It also just so happens to be considered a minor infraction every time, so they mostly get off with a slap on their wrists or a fine. No biggie. If they tried doing something that actually mattered, they'd also face more consequences.

Most of the ordinary people don't need to be convinced any more. We're already using the damn paper straws. It's the big industry that needs to be stopped.

And now we find ourselves in a situation where common people think protesters are the enemy and countries are powerless and can’t help the situation because it’s all the fault of global industry.

That's an insane take, my dude.

People think the protesters who go against ordinary people are the enemy, because the ordinary people are already doing whatever they can - voluntarily or not - to limit emissions. Recycling, LED bulbs, paper straws, paid bags, all that shit.

And yeah, everybody feels powerless because big business is to blame and nobody seems to be going after big business - including the Stop Oil idiots.

Guess we could just give up and forget about it if those pesky villains weren’t constantly throwing paint on bullet proof glass

The people who understand the issue don't want to give up and want governments to finally do something about the industry. The people who don't understand the issue don't give a fuck and are just annoyed about the paper straws, etc. Stop Oil annoys both those groups while simultaneously doing nothing to stop the actual problem.

You are a mouthpiece for the oil industry and part of the problem.

Again talking to your imaginary friend and not me, mate?
