Wish I saw this comment before I posted mine. Looks like he’s already pushing back at my comment.

Good thing we have a justice system to put people like you in jail then.
You can’t justify breaking the law by claiming it is for the greater good, and blocking traffic is breaking the law. Whether you agree with it or not, this is how the world works. Same applies everywhere. If you have a problem with how a kindergarten works, you don’t waltz in there and start blocking toddlers from entering. If you hate the food at a restaurant you don’t spit in everyone elses plates. Not only is it illegal, it is detrimental to the message you’re trying to spread. Find a different method to make your voice heard instead of being probably the most hated type of illegal protester in the world.
Go to youtube. Search “just stop oil protests”. Open up the comment section. Come back here and let me know how it went.
That’s not how it works. There is no country where protesting in the middle of the street without a permit is legal. There absolutely is something like illegal protesting, and what Just Stop Oil did was one example. Protests are about being seen, not causing inconvenience or even danger. You are not above the law just because you’re protesting. Getting a permit and demonstrating outside the white house would have been the correct way to go about this.
The only people who banded together as a result of this protest were angry drivers banding together to remove the nuisance, and climate deniers who got radicalized by the rage, seeing Just Stop Oil protests.
Legal protests are. Illegal protestation is anarchy.
It is the opinion everyone except Just Stop Oil has.
Am I a liberal? I expect protests to have permission beforehand just like they need in Sweden where I am from. They would have been charged there too.
There is nothing peaceful about blocking traffic.
It is first off illegal to protest on a busy road unless you’ve acquired a permit and have a way to redirect traffic. What they were doing were illegal protests.
Second, it doesn’t matter what your message is. If you block traffic, you are the biggest cunt there is, and you are actively harming your own cause by showing the world what kind of people you are. If you’ve seen the videos, and read the comments, you know that 99% of the people are cheering when angry drivers pull the protesters by their hair out of the streets.
Well, it is the second best option after burning google to the ground.
