    They do it because the stuff you’re asking for doesn’t work that well, but this does (that said they do still engage in those actions as far as I’m aware). Activism is about making noise, there aren’t many tools beyond that and they’ve worked for all sorts of issues in the past.

    The point is that JSO doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

      I didn’t think that this works. The examples where people claim “is just like this” I don’t see as being like this.

      The ones that work are ones that have some relation to their cause. Forcing everyone to really think about an issue Inherent to the act. For example, going about and doing this to parked private jets, which they did.

      Just doing anything to get attention isn’t useful if there’s no Inherent message in the act itself. Especially with climate where everyone already has awareness, just not action.

      Being merely loud is not going to sway hearts and minds in your favor.
