So mild forms of eco-vandalism are legitimate forms of political protest? [rhetorical question, just illustrating the pathologically self absorbed boomer mindset]

Farmers in my home country have been protesting by dumping manure in public spaces, blocking major highways and dumping asbestos in public spaces. There have been almost no consequences.

Meanwhile extinction rebellion blocks a small intersection and a seat team shows up.

At this stage I'm vegan out of sheer spite.
