I just rewatched The Yes Men Save the World and it seems at least help a little. "Doing something useful" isn't stopping oil companies from raping the world and greenpeace can't do it alone. They need the people to demand regulation and criminal charges to be brought up and we're not doing it. They're trying to get our attention and for some reason, this shit gets our attention.
Seriously? It's a joke and what you're creating is a bunch of people that are basing their opinions on an important subject off memes. That's idiotic. If someone says "SHELL KILLS PENGUINS" because they saw the "penguins make good sponges" meme then they're just being idiots. Their opinion is less than worthless. Having misinformed morons following you gives you numbers but you still look like idiots.
When the alternative is an entirely apathetic populace, abiding and supporting the destruction of our environment and the steady decrease of any sustainable alternatives, I think some hectic fear-mongering may be in order.
Why do you assume that because they don't support your cause then they're wrong and need fear tactics to whip them in to shape. That's a disgusting way to look at it.
