the Just Stop Oil people are really admirable?

You
do
realize that while they're causing roadblocks, tons more of toxic gases are being expelled into the atmosphere because they're holding up traffic and creating extensive traffic jams, clogging traffic, sending plumes of exhaust into the sky as the cars sit there revving their engines in anger or even idling, waiting for these idiot ****tards to get the hell out of the way,
don't you?
How does losing your hand by gluing it to pavement solve fossil fuel problems? How does destruction of property solve the fossil fuel problem? How does gluing your face to the pavement solve fossil fuel problems? Idiots, the lot of 'em.
If they're that concerned, instead of lazily moping around wearing orange vests or destroying property, why don't they go to college and get degrees and get into environmental politics and become part of the solution to solve the actual problems? I know why. Because that would involve work and they want everyone else to do the work. They just want to be lazy and cause trouble while nothing gets done instead of being proactive. Yup. They sound like they're sincerely interested in the health and wellbeing of this planet's environment.

What they're doing is direct action. They're not just sitting on their asses, you ****ing Karen.
Disruption makes it harder to ignore. You affect the bottom line of businesses enough, they are pressured to change. Or maybe nothing happens and they're ineffective, but they're at least doing something. It's getting people to pay attention, and even if that's all that's gotten from it, it's better than nothing.
And no, rheir blocking traffic doesn't expell a significant amount more of pollution.
You realize some of these people probably have gone to school for these things. What do you expect them to do to make change after getting these degrees?
