i think the main issue is that people blur the lines between disruptive and destructive. a protest has to be disruptive for people to listen, with the main example being rosa parks’, who would not have been listened to if she did not disrupt the bus service. destructive protests, for the most part, make people focus more on the destruction as opposed to the protest
What have Just Stop Oil destroyed?
@@SciGuys they haven't destroyed persay, but i know a lot of people (particularly older generations) read or hear the news about just stop oil throwing food on a painting, or paint on stonehenge and they roll their eyes and say 'this is why no one listens to them'. what they're doing isn't disruptive at all imo, throwing food on a painting that a few people are looking at isn't disrupting anything, but getting a road closed for x amount of hours is disruptive and would get the message across much better
They have closed roads… People hate them for that too
Honestly, people misinterpret disruptive lrotest
First
24 likes in 2 hours on a video about disruptive protests... kinda makes you think
All due respect, this is such a dangerous misreading of public behavior and opinion that it seems based in the most selective out-of-touch leftist interpretations... look, people can misinterpret the point of any given activist performance; but even if thats the case, the activism here was not only just far from possibly effective, its downright 'See how important this issue is? Well im disrupting your shallow comforts for it, therefore its very important' level of naive activism and social disconnect.
Naive ideas of radical action are such a staple criticism at this point that feels almost unfair to bring it up, but just the framing here, like you have to call a spade a spade at some point.
What other options do they have? Given that all of the suggestions people give for protests that “make more sense” have been done (& are being done). The problem is that the less disruptive protests tend to be almost completely ignored by the media, that and they often carry such incredibly punitive sentences that it’s really not worth it for how little impact it has.
Fact is, Just Stop Oil are *forcing* the media to talk about the climate crisis in a way they otherwise would not have to.
To say this is naive activism is to ignore the long history of similar kinds of protest… Just look at suffragette protests, for example
In what meaningful way are they forcing people to talk about climate in ways they wouldn't otherwise? If anything it seems like theyre actively derailing the conversation they're trying to start. @SciGuys
