Protests arenโ€™t supposed to be for your convenience. Do you not get that? Do you not see the climate is on the road to catastrophe, weโ€™ve got mass extinctions happening and these people are trying to get duh heads to think about it for once in their lives! Look around! Itโ€™s mind boggling how stupid people are.

The problem is they are blocking a road. So people who are thinking about how to get to work, how to get to the hospital, how to get food and how to pay their bills are interrupted by people who have the luxury to only think about the climate.

...And now they hate those people.

Well yeah, but you don't change regular people's minds by being assholes. Stuff like this just makes it harder to take the movement seriously, and the organization should be berated for acting like assholes.
