        Now we’re thinking, let’s literally eat the rich at a picnic.

        You can’t advocate for climate change from prison, dummy

            Aside from the fact that MLK Jr was already well known previous to going to prison, and wasn’t just chaining himself to pipes but had already had well-known speeches. I’m well aware of letters from a Birmingham jail, but somehow I doubt that letters or chaining yourself to a pipeline are going to make a difference when multi-billion dollar industries are benefiting from that pipeline.

            It’s a little obtuse to say that those are similar and you know that.

      People sometimes choose to get arrested as a means of generating publicity for their cause. It’s one of many tactics used in nonviolent civil disobedience.
