Examples include Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion here in the UK.

Personally, I think some charities are groups are genuine in their outburst wanting large firms to stop strangling the natural beauty for profit, however for me there is a red line that can be crossed.

Blocking roads preventing medical care, people going to work, interview and possibly a nice vacation away. This doesn’t really help but make the public look at your group in a bad light.

The same can also be said when attempting to destroy priceless art for a cheap publicity stunt knowing it’ll get clicks on social media.

TLDR - I think some groups are genuinely good whilst others are just shouting in a speakerphone, pissing everyone else off.

What do YOU think?

    I definitely do, thank you for the civil and not personal at all remark.

    Have you not seen the videos of eg. French protestors going out the way of ambulances?

      Did you literally ignore my example? How does moving out of the way of an ambulance address either of my two points? For them to get out of the way, the ambulance had to reach the protestors. In doing that, the ambulance is already substantially delayed by avoidable traffic congestion.

      And the on call doctor?

      That’s ok though, ignore the substance of my argument and focus on the fact that you somehow found my post insulting. Forgive me for thinking you don’t know what you’re talking about, clearly you do since you… Completely ignored my examples.
