    No it’s not. If there was a right way to protest everyone would do it. But protest is always messy, some people will hate you, some will applaude you. So choose something and try it. Or sit on the couch and comment on the internet like you are not part of the collapse thats coming.
    The opposite of love is not hate but indifference. Indifferent to the problem and indifferent to the solutions.

      i’m talking about how one particular thing is the wrong way to protest, yet you’re pretending like i’m against all possible protest or something

          the action is stupid, not the people, necessary.

          and how does posting a wikipedia article to general topics like “ExxonMobil climate change denial” supposedly apply to gluing yourself to an airport runway?
          a link that’s just a keyword search to pictures of Earth Day 1970???
          you’re pretending like you’re responding to me with some proof, but you’re just sea lioning.

          why not go block an oil refinery, some shipping ports where oil is being loaded onto trucks? DDOS exxon’s backend online? throw feces an exxon ceo’s?

          it’s a stupid fucking tactic and don’t you dare pretend like i’m talking about the concept of protesting climate change in general.

          i’m talking about people like you tricking people like them into harming themselves.
          and you’re awful.

            I was trying to tell a VERY brief story of 50 years of protest that did not change anything, co2 just rises. So people try new stuff.
            But I agree, this topic is too complex for a random internet fight not even in my native language. Had to look up sealioning, what are you talking about?! I am not awful, you are the one throwing around insults. Am I debating 17 year olds again?

              After reading through several of their comments and having engaged in a discussion with them myself, I get the impression that they don’t care about respectful and civilised discussions and I think it’s possible they are trolling. As they also resort to throwing insults around, evading questions and not really showing interest in conducting a line of arguments, it’s probably best to disengage.

              you’re lying, disingenuous, and not trying to tell a story by posting a link to a search result for images of earth day….

              but, pretend like you’re genuine:
              trying new stuff is FUCKING GREAT.
              try to glue yourself to things is FUCKING STUPID.
              why harm yourself, when there’s CEO’s with houses and addresses you could….

              there’s a lot of waaaay better tactics than hurting yourself to gain sympathy… it’s basically turning munchaousens syndrome into a form of protest….
              or, what you are doing, is referred to as munchausen syndrome by proxy
              in english, at least….

              please fucking stop advocating for SELF-harm

            People have done all the things you propose. Repeatedly. It maybe gets some minor local attention, and a police crackdown, but hasn’t changed much of anything. That’s why people have resorted to stuff like putting soup on the glass protecting artworks or gluing themselves to runways.

              putting soup on glass protecting art gets a loooot more attention, and doesn’t harm anyone….
              it’s crazy to lump that in.
