      All I’m really trying to say is their methods make the environmental movements look bad. I hate that. I want things to get better. I don’t think they’re doing anything to help that. Go after something relevant.

        MLK’s protests made the civil rights movement look bad. People fucking hated him at the time, despite how history has whitewashed him.

        Every effective protest pisses reactionaries and “moderates” off. If it doesn’t piss them off, it isn’t effective.

          Except this doesn’t make me care about oil one damn bit. What I do care about it harsh penalties for the perpetrators(including community service and paying for the damage to be undone) and protecting heritage sites like this from other shitty humans. Its not activism, it’s vandalism. It has nothing to do with oil. It would be the same as setting the Mona Lisa on fire and screaming about oil. It’s just unhinged.
