Been seeing a lot of outrage thrown at them recently their protests and been seeing a lot of people trying to disrupt these protesters for “disrupting” them and that they could cause inconvenience to emergency services but at the same time,I feel as though these actions are necessary sort of to better spread the message since the bourgeois media is going to turn a blind eye to it. So, since I’m not really familiar with the whole thing, I want to see what you think of them.

Their message is fine and I understand why they carry out certain stunts, it’s obviously to get eyes on the issue, but it seems the general public does not understand these tactics and just get angry.

At some point I worry that the public will turn against stopping oil and go into full support just to stick it to the people they find annoying.

“Oil may be destructive but you’re annoying so I’m gonna double down my support for the corporations just to fuck with you.”

I think the vast majority of people aren’t angry about them but rather are ambivalent. You only see the mainstream media promoting the idea that people are mad at them to make anti-oil seem like a “fringe” movement

I guess the media just seems to be pushing the idea that people are annoyed. When they are trending on twitter the biggest tweets I saw were of people complaining with thousands of likes to go along with it. It’s probably an algorithm thing but I guess I still worry.

I’m sure it annoys some people. But I also am sure that the media and social media blow that annoyance those some people have out of proportion
