      Yes. I am self centred. I demand basic rights to freedom be restricted, because these people did the same to thousands. I’m not going to decide not to go to school because a couple of hippies decided to do a protest

      And me not going to school won’t save the lives of billions of people. Such a braindead comment.

        Good news, we are on a good track to do jack shit about the climate and also severely cutting into rule of law and right to protest. Hooray.

        Luckily, there is nothing you could do to change things, ever. It must be nice to have a clear conscience.

        It is one thing I learned during Corona: a lot of people don’t give a shit about erosion of fundamental rights or people dying horribly. But don’t you dare inconvenience them in their god-given right to party on and pretend all is well.

          Yanks find out that the UK is more than just Lodnon (colourized)

          Trains and buses were also having difficulties because so many people used them instead of cars.

          I understand you have a vendetta against cars but you have to think about other things

        Tbf you clearly need more schooling to learn the effective use of protest throughout history, and how those rights have been fought for, and how they’re being eroded in real time whilst utter morons like you enable it through rhetoric.

        Someone please educate this fucker

            Kindly ask them about the current prognoses, like the Club of Rome one, the expected number of climate refugees in the next decades, and how well we are on track to hit any climate goal. And then about a protest form that will actually work and stop unprecedented human suffering.

              You seem to think that I don’t believe or I’m not scared of climate change. I’m completely supportive of initiatives to prevent the usage of fossil fuels and pollution, however these actions have done nothing but alienate the majority of the public. If you go to the UK and ask nornal people about JSO, they’ll probably have nothing but negative opinions. This form of protest will do nothing to “hit a climate goal”. Vandalising art will just get you booed at, laughed at and thrown in the slammer as you rightfuilly should. These idiots simply create more human suffering as an excuse for stopping human suffering, and I don’t believe in such a cause for a single second of the day. When I’m stuck in traffic for 3 hours, I’m not going to think “wow these protests are going to save the planet!”, I’m going to think “these people are making me late” and that’s all I care about. Sorry.

                Thankfully literally no one but you cares what you think, and the protests are intended to affect the finances of those in power so they eventually cave and make better decisions for the planet despite the cost. I’d recommend trying some self reflection before you end up with as many people that hate you as you have downvotes on this thread.

                  Do you think I care if people on Lemmy downvote me? Random strangers that I will never meet in my entire life? I’ll say my honest opinions regardless of what the general public thinks of them

                  Ask anyone in the UK who has heard of JSO and their response will almost certainly be negative. Nobody likes these guys except for internet users or fanatics.
