Fuck every single person (in the ass) who has ever blockaded a public way without permit to do so.

aw poor baby got his feelings hurt.

IT'S FUCKING NOTHING COMPARED TO THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM.

Get a sense of actual perspective you over-entitled twat.

The ecosystem is on the red line. Planet's burning and you don't even want to slow your shitmobile down, surprised you're not one of the 'run the protesters over' fuckwits.

WE ONLY HAVE ONE BIOSPHERE YOU FUCKING BELLEND. I really hope your children hate you, they should, fucks like you so concerned about your own pitiful pointless lives getting hemorrhoids over being late to an appointment because someone's protesting THE RAPIDLY ONCOMING DEATH OF OUR SPECIES DUE TO SELFISH PRICKS SPEWING CO2 FOR PROFIT.

Groups that block public roads are funded by large fossil fuel companies to undermine the efforts of legitimate environmentalists and turn public perception against their cause. It only HELPS further the climate crisis to block the average person from going about their day, and genuine activist groups also know that - many have spoken out against such tactics in the past. Look into it and you'll see that you're playing right into their game by defending methods that only serve to piss off potential support.

citation required for this hilarious assertion.

. It only HELPS further the climate crisis to block the average person from going about their day,

bootlickers think like this. they want you to feel bad for speaking out against their crimes. abusers assert that their victims bear responsibility. this is right out of the beat-your-wife playbook.

sure thing bud; protest never changed anything, that's why we don't have civil rights laws, women can't vote, etc. brilliant conversation, it's almost like I can hear the twang in your voice, or smell the wifebeater you're wearing. Let's not do it again! Gonna block ya shortly and then go on to live a good life where I never think about you again.
