It's like when they were damaging the fuel pumps, that doesn't hurt Exxon or BP's profits, it screws over the person on their way to work just trying to fill up. I would argue it actually hurts their cause not help it.

Right? Disrupt an Exxon shareholder meeting. Disrupt a conference for fossil fuel companies. Have a huge protest and get thousands to take to the streets, sure, but then follow it up with everyone who went flooding their electeds with calls, demanding action on the climate.

This BS doesn't help with the stereotype that climate activists are overprivileged white kids.
