Let's solve climate change by doing anything we can to exacerbate it, especially by making gridlock even worse. Genius!

You oppose what they're advocating for and dislike them. Don't pretend you just don't like their methods, there's nothing they could do that would please you short of not protesting at all. You would call anything less intrusive useless virtue signaling.

The best way to get people on your side about an issue is to inconvenience them and stop them from getting to work. Thatll work!

This is why I live in the country. If someone twerked in the street, I just drove my lifted four wheel drive over them without hitting them

They can still protest and I can get to work. Win win

Well, I was on the fence about climate change. But after sitting in an hour of traffic, missing a work meeting, and having some 22 year-old with purple hair scream at me about my privilege, I'm now convinced it's a serious problem.

The ironic part is that many of those leftist protesters probably favor open borders. Open borders increase the carbon footprints of millions who migrate from the 3rd world to the first world.

Like, it's weird that people will make it sound as if them being inconvenienced is reason enough for them to not look into the research of something and come up with their own conclusions. Like, why purposely admit your lack agency and that an inconvenience is all it would take to make you not care about xyz.

I'm not even talking about climate change specifically. Just in general.

I thought facts over feelings was the conservative mantra? Human caused climate change and the need to take major action to reduce the damage is a fact. Only an American conservative who lionizes the flag and the troops and freedom could crap on young people for exercising that freedom to save the planet.

Plus, anyone who is triggered by purple hair and talking about privilege is very likely unreachable anyway.

I mean, part of the answer is these people aren't really arguing their positions + nutpicking. It's still weird

Any intelligent person should crap on slacktivist gestures like this protest that ironically result in congestion that exacerbates climate change.

If these millennials want to make a real change, they need to lobby politically and actually get involved beyond showing up at a rally that makes for some good Instagram photos. Climate change is not going to be solved with hollow gestures by lazy fucks.

This is the generation of "you do all the hard work solving the problem and give me credit when it's done since I made a social media post about it." Didn't do anything when they tried this approach at Occupy Wall Street and won't do anything now either.

Imagine blaming protesters for gridlock and not the decades of lobbying by the automotive and fossil fuel industries to make America a car based society that has divested away from rail and other public transportation options.

Its not. It is literally the political lobbying he is suggesting they should be doing

He is just moving goalposts to downplay their participation

This is a perfect example of what I said in the first post. You're not making a good faith criticism of their protest methods. You simply don't like them or their message and so whatever method they choose, you'll paint as either radical and off-putting or lazy and virtue signaling, because that's how you already think of anyone on the left who challenges the status quo to any extent.

How the hell is literally marching in the streets and shutting down traffic slacktivism? And how do you know that these people aren't also taking legislative and electoral action? It's almost like you decided to dismiss them regardless of what they did. If they are lobbying, you'll just say that whatever they advocate for is communism that will destroy the economy.

Because he's a gay guy. If it bothers you, that's your own issue and you should address your homophobia.
