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?

    If you block emergency vehicles and someone dies or gets (more severe) injuries you should be prosecuted.

    Generally the art vandalism just makes me feel aversion towards whatever your agenda is. But I’m not sure if I’m your target audience in the first place.

    If you block me while I’m working, turns out I’m paid by the hour anyway. If you block me on my free time I’ll probably work up a rage and actively start opposing your agenda instead of listening on what you have to say.

    Over all you’ll probably not convince me.
