    Ironically, people on your side seem to specifically NOT know how protests work. Pissing off the masses does not bring people to your cause.

    I’m also sympathetic to the cause and do a lot to improve my carbon footprint, but I’m the bad guy here because I believe that simply pissing off others will not reduce the worlds reliance on oil.

    What has actually been achieved with these protests? Do people exist who didn’t know oil was bad until they saw someone holding up traffic or chaining themselves to a football goal? It seems like disruption for disruptions sake to me.

      You’re completely wrong. There was never a protest that didn’t piss off the masses. There was never a cause that didn’t piss off the masses. Everything pisses off the masses because the masses are whiny crybaby snowflakes. So what is your solution? Sit back and let the government kill us?
