I do question the awareness they’re raising tho, it’s not getting people on their side. It’s not. Full stop.
It’s pushing people away and distracting from the actual issue. People liked the private jet attack, people fucking loathed the stone henge stunt.
Just stop oil is a news topic for Talk TV and GB news to make people hate the idea of protecting the environment, and it’s working.
If you've got better ideas, we need them, get out there and get on it. As it is, we're sleepwalking into catastrophe.
My better idea is to not do dumb shit that actively turns people (voters) against the cause. Egg some politicians, paint some private jets, people love that shit.
Besides just saying “AwArEnEsS”, what does JSO actually achieve?
Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change, what we actually need to do is convince people to take action. JSO actively convinces people to vote against action on climate change.
I'm still trying to get my husband's uncle to get off his easy out of "well I guess it's happening, but humans didn't cause it." He, along with a lot of other people, are in an echo chamber. Obviously plopping pigment on monuments isn't going to do shit to convince them, but I don't know what will.
