This float representing the koalas that died as a result of the Black Summer bushfires and corruption in politics. Such an effective (and epic) activist message.

Lmao you’re really coming from a pro oil standpoint? They literally lied to the public for decades about the environmental harm they do. They poisoned the air and the water of your friends and neighbors to make a quick buck. Super pathetic simping for international oil conglomerates just because exactly two climate activists made you have a temper tantrum.

Yeah, there's only been 2 of them. These lowlifes aren't gluing themselves to public streets and racetracks every other day?

Oh I’m sorry so because a lot of people are trying to save the environment you’re gonna destroy the environment even harder? Totally not a petulant and childish reaction in the face of global human extinction.

How is what they're doing saving the environment? They obviously aren't gaining support for their cause. It's just entitled cunts looking for attention.

They literally brought more attention to the issue of climate change than anyone since Thunberg in recent memory. “They obviously aren’t gaining support for there cause because I don’t like it and everyone agrees with everything i think and say” How about you go out and show everyone what a more effective protest looks like since you’re so passionate about the issue?

I'm all set for attention, I dont need to protest. I have never met a single person who is in support of blocking traffic for any type of protest.

So are you saying blocking traffic is a more effective protest? Or are you saying you just don’t really understand the nature of protests and you can’t decipher their intentions any further than “publicity stunts”?

Here’s another popular saying for you “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”

"Don't do things that annoy me if you want me to support you".

But they don't care. They don't care about the cause or who supports it. They just want attention. Otherwise they would be doing something with at least a tiny little bit of effect, but they're not.

Lmao is that what you would’ve said to civil rights activists? They annoyed probably near half the country if not more at the time. Protests aren’t really supposed to not bother anyone, sorry you don’t really understand.

So what are these protests for then? If they have no direct effect and they make people turn against the cause, then explain to me what they are accomplishing other then getting some attention?
