Statistically almost all violent ones failed and only non violent are long lasting… Also you need at least 15% of the population to do either efficiently and since the climate idiots fucked up mostly the lower and middle class people so far thats not gonna happen any time soon. Climate change is a big problem but the way most of them protest is just ridiculous and achieves the opposite of what’s wanted, not all publicity is good publicity.

Bruh what? Do that yourself especially in the last 100 years almost no violent uprising lasted long and especially not when it had below 15% of the people on their side.

Protests are either inconvenient or ineffective.

I hope these protests work. Fossil fuel companies don’t need more subsidies.

Looks like it’s going to turn into a sex party.

Next time bring bubble soap and chase the cops with it.

The protesters will block this same stretch of road every single day from now until fossil fuel subsidies are ended. Every day, for as long as necessary

It’s mind blowing that our taxes line the pockets of the fossil fuel sociopaths destroying our planet
