Jaywalking isn’t even illegal where I live.
Comment on fuck this asshole
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 10 months agoBlocking roads in protest has proven effective at exactly one thing: Increasing the enforcement and penalties for jaywalking.
It is counterproductive at everything else.
did you think that huddling on sidewalks holding signs was supposed to do something?
Where did I say huddle on sidewalks?
I think JSO should be firebombing ICE car dealerships, gas stations, muffler shops, and other entities and agents of the oil industry. Not harassing victims of that industry.

Give JSO time to lobby your legislators. They’ll get around to it.

Well… no.

Excellent retort, but I can cite the legislative record supporting my point.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I can cite many news articles which show that protesting in this way is more effective.

No doubt, no doubt. Plenty of articles claiming JSO protests are effective.
Of course, if they were actually effective, you wouldn’t need to point to news articles promoting the virtues of standing around in the street.
You’d be able to point to oil consumption rates. If they were actually effective, those rates would be falling.
They aren’t. Not by a long shot.
Those “many news articles” are complete horseshit.
