I get it, but … all anyone accomplishes by barricading a road to protest oil is pissing off people trying to get to work so they have a roof over their heads and don’t starve. They’re not going to think, Oh! Well! I’d better change my ways! I’ll just spend this tens of thousands of dollars I don’t have lying around on an EV (which won’t solve climate change anyway), take the fuck-all existent public transit (in North America), or walk 20 miles to work every day!

They’re as much victims to the system you are.
yes! The point of protest is to inconvenience the owning class, which this achieves, well recognised!
if they got out of the car and sat on the road too it would be over in one day
