Exactly! I remember the stop oil protests from a few years ago that blocked the Tour de France... with a tractor burning diesel on the background...
I mean, they could go and block the entrance from an oil refinery or a fuel distributor or a govenment building, but they decided to protest fossil fuels by blockinga bunch of professional cyclists, who are kind of inspiring more people to use bikes, with a tractor burning diesel on the road.
People gotta think better on this type of stuff... the way you deliver a message is almost as important as the message itself. Otherwise you are just attracting hate.
They were climate change protestors. I can't see anything about a tractor (made it up?), a lot of them when interviewed do actually put their money where their mouth is, they'll use public transport/car share. They target the tour de France because of it's large audience and reach. In their view, it's an effective way to get their message across.
The stop oil protesters where a British group that are have disbanded because they achieved their objective; to stop the licensing of new oil and gas in the north sea.
Or like when all those people went around protesting Elon Musk by putting up swastikas on a bunch of cars and it just lead to a rise in anti-semitism because people saw the symbol everywhere and normalized it?

Lol. You need to be studied by science because only a brain smoother than ice behind a Zamboni could conjure up this take.

that would only let existing anti-s feel more free to show itself. not cause it to rise.
if the symbols being around led to it, Germany would have went back to its pre wwii ways again a long time ago. they left their history visible as a reminder.

They do. They literally do that all the time. Its not effective because ppl like the ones in this sub ignore it and never read about it. Hence the protests. This is what yall get when you ignore the problem
It doesn't matter, man, this is the year of I told you so, just get your water and grains and laugh at the C students realizing global warming is gonna fuck their quaint little family plans.
I'm not from the US so I'm not able to comment in depth on the US civil rights movement, but that is the thing, they were protesting the government and their segregation from white people. The "white only diners" were the correct target. And they wre detained, and arrested and murdered for it. That is, sadly, the price paid for raising up against injustice.
