      Sure, I would have stopped the fire, if only the fire alarm wasn’t that loud and unpleasent.

          The school I went to got destroyed in a flood, people die in my city due to heat in summer. It is already acute, but people choose to ignore it. Eco systems are under immense pressure all around the world. This is not something in a far away future, it is happening right now.

              Have you considered you aren’t the target of the actions they’re taking?

                  Their cause is constantly in the news every time they do this, I’d say they’re doing a hell of a good job.

                  They aren’t ‘bringing awareness to climate change’ they’re saying ‘stop dissociating and pay attention to this’ and it’s working.

              “you won’t get me on your side without actual evidence that this destructive behavior is doing more good than harm regarding the issue.”

              Oh no, sad noises, the vile hater won’t support the only people trying to make a difference. May as well pack up, go home and wait for the world to end.

              Shut up mate, you look stupid, you spell like a fool, and you’re honestly an example of everything that’s wrong with this world.

          …you know over 1300 people died during a heat wave, like, a week ago, right? And that wildfires are tearing through he goddamn arctic circle right now? The fuck you think this isn’t acute. You just don’t see it yet because it’s affecting the global south, aka, the poorer, darker skinned countries. Asshole.

      That’s a self fulfilling prophecy, isn’t it? The effect you describe would not be there if it wasn’t for comments like this. Or at the very least, these comments make the effect bigger.

        A better idea than torching the public support that was painstakingly earned over decades? I guess every idea is better.

          I disagree that what they are doing brings any negative consequence to the movement though. Most of them are kids with no real choice. They can’t join a party. Heck, most can’t even vote. All the things you said are important and they are being done.

          Putting in political work, petitions, speaking to and informing people, writing the politicians (at best paper mail, its taken more seriously) going into a party and making change from inside, protesting normally as in on the streets and not being disruptive to the public.

          The things that have done absolutely nothing for the last 4 decades? Yeah lets keep doing it, maybe this decade guys

          It’s such a shame it’s all of our collective necks that boot you’re licking so enthusiastically is stomping on, not just yours.
