Uh. Lemme check. Yes. We're well past the "please stop killing me, it's really mean :(" stage. They know. They are choosing to jetset anyway.
If the disgustingly rich haven't shifted their focus by now, they've basically made their stance known already and stuff like this strikes me as just toying around. It makes activists feel like they accomplished something, and then it's rectified quite literally the same day and everyone continues about their business.
Wanna join in or would your parents worry?
So what have you done yourself? Stolen any boats?
It’s too easy to sit and criticise other peoples protests from the comforting you gaming chair.
Its self masturbatory. It makes themselves feel like they did something but grosses out most other people. These types of activist whose strategy is to do something shocking just to get press are always counter productive. As if they can't reason how they're speaking to the choir
I feel like I know your opinion on climate protests blocking roads etc now...
Fuck, if a climate protest stopped me from getting to work on time, I'd buy breakfast for the protesters.
Your local vegan restaurant would probably love this. No joke.
Not just my opinion. You would know what the majority and growing opinion on it is. Which is why most of those protest are backed by fossil industries. They stopped trying to fight these groups and started funding the most annoying of them.
Ah yes, the legendary false flag.
Agent provocateur. The ol bugs bunny, if you can't beat them, join em.
I'll believe it when I see evidence of it.
