Groups that block public roads are funded by large fossil fuel companies

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.

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.

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.
