      …while I may not like the forms their protest takes, I think - well, they certainly think - it’s worth your ire if it opens people’s eyes to the oncoming worldwide disaster.

      suspect they’re right.

        Whose eyes do you think aren’t open at this point that this stunt would open them?

        Like I said elsewhere, this is like what PETA does and people are still eating a lot of meat.

              better chance of that swaying people than sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.

                Yeah, well, it’s hard to go out and do environmental activism when you’re too sick to walk more than half an hour without having to rest for four hours afterward. But you do you.

                Incidentally, what have you done? Since you’re so quick to point a finger at me, let’s hear it.

                  I’m not gonna dox myself for your satisfaction, but in the past few years I’ve volunteered with habitat for humanity, done wetlands remediation and volunteer weekly with an org that repairs and gives away tools to nonprofits, keeping them out of the waste stream and helping people take care of their houses.

                  if you’re too sick to walk, that shouldn’t cause you to shit on everyone else’s efforts.

                    The only people whose efforts I “shit on” are the people who are intentionally pissing others off in order to further their cause.

                    I really don’t know why people think that you can piss someone off into taking your side. I keep asking- have you ever done that?

        It opens my eyes to a bunch of attention seeking vandals who should rot in jail. It’s too bad we don’t have anyone willing to protest Big oil: I could get behind that

          literally what they’re doing, you just don’t like their method. I’m not here to defend them, but that’s pretty pathetic.
