Comment on Just Stop Oil protestors interrupt UK’s biggest games event EGX
wombatula@lemm.ee 8 months agoOk and what’s the plan exactly? “Just stop oil” will kill millions if not billions, the entire worlds economy relies on fossil fuels.
What exactly does the protest accomplish? Awareness is worth about as much as thoughts and prayers, so what will this help exactly?
A protest with no plan is just making noise.

This is why we need to teach kids to read.
JSO isn’t about halting all oil consumption right the fuck now. There goal is to stop new licences being given out to drill for more oil. The idea being that we should at the very least try to not actively make the problem worse. And start the long process of actually decoupling our system from oil, so one day the entire world’s economy DOESNT rely on oil.

Yeah they do a great job at getting that message across by… throwing paint on things and annoying people?
But by all means, make personal attacks against me, because as we are saying to you pissing people off and alienating them is great for the cause, great work!

If you don’t want me to make fun of you for being dumb then just don’t be dumb. You have the collective knowledge of the entire human race at your fingertips, which included JSOs cause and reasoning. Use it.
