When's the march for this? 100% bullshit
Unfortunately a lot of people seem to hate these kinds of protest and are probably happy they're being locked up.
Yes true. It's strange isn't it? Especially anything involving cars seems to break something in people's brains
If someone stopped my train I'd be equally annoyed
I'm not sure if there are better ways to do this but I think any effective protest has to cause some disruption otherwise it's too easily ignored.
I'm sure most people agree governments could be doing a lot more to fight climate change, so the problem isn't the protestors, it's the government creating a situation where it becomes necessary. It shouldn't be too hard to understand why jailing these people is bad.
This type of protest is equally easily ignored. This article is proof of that.
You do realise your second sentence completely contradicts your first?
Man some days I wish I could just be this ignorant
Easy for you to say when it's not your job on the line.
People got fired for being held up in traffic?
I know this may come as a surprise to you, but some employers don't care why you're late.
Damn, feels like it's almost unavoidable to get fired at those employers then.
Luckily in the Netherlands at least, it would be illegal to fire someone over that.
