The “disruptive protests are bad” people are straight garbage pieces of shit. You know what is disruptive? Blizzards in Florida, wildfires in California and Canada, and mass migrations of island people due to oceans rising. So go fuck yourselves with this “boo hoo traffic got held up a couple minutes “ bullshit you fucking pussies.

Protest all you want. I'm not getting late to work because of you. I also care about the climate, but holding up traffic isn't going to get me on your side

was sentenced to 20 months in prison for her participation in a climate protest on the M25 in 2022

This woman is one of the people that made me late to school in 2022. This woman directly inconvenienced my life and the lives of many other people who had much more dire consequences.

Absolutely 0 sympathy. Fuck around, find out

Go ahead and list those dire consequences, I'll wait.

And late for school? You are fucking kidding right? What would you want if someone stole your bike, the death penalty? You sound like a child.

I don't think her jail sentence should be extended for that ridiculous reason but I still don't feel any sympathy for her

And late for school? You are fucking kidding right?

So i should give up my right to have an education because a few lunatics decided that I should listen to THEM instead of my teachers? No fucking way.

Where do you go to school that the sentence, "Sorry I'm late, protests caused the traffic to come to a stop." would force you to give up your right to have an education?

[email protected]

Get fucked you self-centered dickhead. Why go to work? What are you saving money for if it's in serious danger of burning down? Can you eat your cash if it becomes worthless?

My god, so much lack of insight and foresight.

I am mildly inconvenicenced for a short term, I demand to restrict basic freedoms and go for the highest sentence!

God help I even change my life a little to protect the life of literally billions of people.

The school didn't give out detentions for people being late that day because hundreds of students AND teachers were late. The detention wasn't the consequence, it was the fact that people missed entire lessons, teachers couldn't set up, it disrupted the entire day for everyone.

These morons decided that their pettiness exceeded anyone's desire or need to work or learn. And because of that I refuse to see any reason to be sympathetic to them.

Why am I, and all the people working hard to educate themselves and others, inconvenieced instead of the gigantic oil companies that will have a greater impact on the planet in 1 year than all of us will in 100. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

That must be how innocent white people felt when their meals that they paid for were interrupted by black people illegally sitting in their restaurants. The other diners weren't to blame. Why didn't the protesters just go after Big Restaurant and leave the law abiding diners to exercise their right to dine in peace?

Except many of us who actually care about the cause say this because traffic delays and vandalizing paintings irritate the fuck out of people and set them against the cause of the protest. You can spew more profanity against for being like that if you wish, but it doesn’t change facts.

It’s like finding a way to stage a protest that just makes eggs more expensive. Yay protest! But don’t expect any good to come of it.

A non-disruptive protest is masturbation.

A protest is disruption.

That's why protests in designated protest zones out of the eyelines and more importantly away from the profit operations of those being protested are an intentional and effective method of completely neutering protest.

We have protest in the US. It just doesn't mean anything anymore.

That is in no way comparable. These are privileged people who have had zero hardship in life so they feel guilty and join a climate group. Don't even fucking tell me that this is in any way comparable to racism. Whenever lemmy users come up with an analogy for something it's always Nazis and racism, just please stop emotionally escalating EVERYTHING and talk like a normal human being.

Yes. I am self centred. I demand basic rights to freedom be restricted, because these people did the same to thousands. I'm not going to decide not to go to school because a couple of hippies decided to do a protest

And me not going to school won't save the lives of billions of people. Such a braindead comment.

Little old lady spends 20 months in prison for blocking a main road and being mad at rich people.

President of the United States, insurrectionist, creep, man who suggested he'd got a Nazi to hack the elections, certified felon, spends ZERO months in prison and gets to have a party.

This is why I smoke weed.

Tbf you clearly need more schooling to learn the effective use of protest throughout history, and how those rights have been fought for, and how they’re being eroded in real time whilst utter morons like you enable it through rhetoric.

Someone please educate this fucker

[email protected]

I'd rather be educated by my teachers than lemmy users Thank you very much

It's why I don't.
