We get it, you care as long as your selfish ass isn't inconvenienced. I so love a society that pretends to care oh so much about democracy and the average person supposedly being able to change things and then being so angry about then being the target of protests when they don't take the actions to change things.
You think they don't know, or don't care? They can't do shit about it because individual people aren't the root of the problem. "Inconveniencing" someone by potentially costing them their livelihood and home isn't going to win you any support.
Their centrist pearl clutching hasn't done anything so far so why make yourself smaller to appease someone who won't help anyway? Sorry - get real about the stakes or get aside.
Yeah so go lop some politicians and CEOs heads off and put them on stakes outside of parliament and such. Those are the people with the power to enact change, and they’re all too happy to see you fuck with people who can do fuck all instead of them.
I'm more in the blockade a port/unmake a pipeline/put sand in the oil tanks kind of a mindset but go off
How does making me and possibly hundreds or thousands of other people late for whatever the fuck we are doing going to make us join in? And what about all of the videos from your side of the pond of people getting just as mad when fucks like you sit in the middle of the road? Just Americans on vacation I guess... All the shit going wrong with the world and it's "the Americans" that don't get it. Fuck you and your high horse!
