      Making using car uncomfortable and unreliable should push people to abandon it for other means of transportation.

      It doesn’t, which is why I think the conspiracy that Just Stop Oil is sponsored by big oil to give the environmental movement a bad name is quite plausible. The other explanation is they’re organically that stupid.

      That’s like looking at a tennis match and asking “how does wearing white win the game?”.

      Ignoring context to feign confusion is some weaksauce trolling.

        No, this isn’t me feigning ignorance. There are much better uses of a person’s time if their goal is environmentalism than sitting in traffic.

          Possibly , but that’s not what you said.

          The implication was that making cars idle was the point of blocking in the road, which is wasn’t/isn’t.

          How does <this thing that i know was not the point> <fulfil the goal i know is unrelated to the thing i just mentioned> ?

          A failure of sentence structure or purposeful trolling.

            I will concede that I phrased that poorly. I realize that making cars idle was not the point, but that is was the result would be.

              Fair enough.

              You realise that the fact you’re even talking about it means it’s doing more than just making cars idle.

              Now, whether it’s actually helping anything in a tangible way, that’s a different conversation entirely.
