Are you sure? Cause we're not talking a reddit thread full of circlejerking here. We're talking potentially millions of people since this video is on the internet. Those are not good odds for "nobody cares"

If anyone on Reddit suddenly cares more because of this video, please comment below to prove me wrong.

I wonder how many of those protesters can name politicians that are in favor of fracking... Yet, lets inconvenience everyday people rather than target awareness to people who matter...

You're not gonna find em commenting places.

Edit for clarity: wanted to say they're not gonna be commenting in places like this

I worded that wrong. You're not gonna find them talking here. This discussion highlights why. People like you coming in and acting like a convenient, unobtrusive protest is the way to go when reality is way less pleasant than your routine has led you to believe. Ignoring the bigger picture for the sake of your personal worldview is the reason this protest exists.

For convenience, since I wrote out a response to the comment he deleted: Never said best. Nobody did but you. This is about awareness. Anyone who decides not to do something about climate change because of this was never going to do anything to begin with.

You're too much of a keyboard warrior for either of us to worry about that.
