A tangent I’ve been down myself, I think recent climate action groups protests have shown how ultimately ineffective this kind of antagonistic attention seeking protest actions are. Pink yachts and stopping traffic causes more avoidance of the issue supposedly cared about. I’ve always thought the only way to get any kind of productive attention from governments or large corporations, or government via large corporations is to interrupt the flow of money. If one dislikes big oil, get a bike. All that being said, when I was an angry young man I took part in my share of protest marches, marching for the very rights now enjoyed by the people we are commenting on here. I wonder if I would advise that youngster to march again,now I’ve seen today’s protests?
