    You seem to think that I don’t believe or I’m not scared of climate change. I’m completely supportive of initiatives to prevent the usage of fossil fuels and pollution, however these actions have done nothing but alienate the majority of the public. If you go to the UK and ask nornal people about JSO, they’ll probably have nothing but negative opinions. This form of protest will do nothing to “hit a climate goal”. Vandalising art will just get you booed at, laughed at and thrown in the slammer as you rightfuilly should. These idiots simply create more human suffering as an excuse for stopping human suffering, and I don’t believe in such a cause for a single second of the day. When I’m stuck in traffic for 3 hours, I’m not going to think “wow these protests are going to save the planet!”, I’m going to think “these people are making me late” and that’s all I care about. Sorry.

      Thankfully literally no one but you cares what you think, and the protests are intended to affect the finances of those in power so they eventually cave and make better decisions for the planet despite the cost. I’d recommend trying some self reflection before you end up with as many people that hate you as you have downvotes on this thread.

        Do you think I care if people on Lemmy downvote me? Random strangers that I will never meet in my entire life? I’ll say my honest opinions regardless of what the general public thinks of them

        Ask anyone in the UK who has heard of JSO and their response will almost certainly be negative. Nobody likes these guys except for internet users or fanatics.
