If you hate protesters blocking roads in the name of taking immediate #ClimateAction, you’re going to really hate how Climate Change itself blocks roads.

@LazaroDTormes @GottaLaff yup

@GreenFire @thepoliticalcat @GottaLaff
adaptation is never going to be enough

@chris

If their goal is to be hated and disregarded, they should totally block more roads.

If their goal is to do something about the environment, then almost anything else would be more effective.

@TruthSandwich this is the part where you didn't grasp the message.

[truthsandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com]

@chris

Oh, I know what message they think they're sending, but that's not what's actually being received.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@TruthSandwich cars and dead bodies blocking streets it is then.

[truthsandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com]

@chris

How about neither?

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@TruthSandwich you already have both.

[truthsandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com]

@chris

And yet blocking traffic does nothing positive.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@TruthSandwich neither do cars and dead bodies. So same same, eh?

[truthsandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com]

@chris

You're not making any sense. There's a real problem and we should deal with it. Adding a fake problem doesn't help.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@TruthSandwich are you calling what happened in Valencia fake?

[truthsandwich@fedi.truth-sandwich.com]

@chris

Blocking traffic for "awareness" is fake. It's a problem that they're creating to get attention, but it's the wrong kind of attention. Pissing people off crushes their sympathy for your cause.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@TruthSandwich alright, I’ve played along long enough.

It was obvious from your first reply that you don’t give a fuck about the people who just died in Spain, about the historic damage that was done, why it happened, or how to fix it, or even how to advocate to fix it.

So kindly shut up. Get a life. You are not needed here. The adults will take care of things. Is that too strong? Did I fail to get your sympathy? Fuck off.

Bye.
