    Ah double standards, farmers are apparently in their right to block a highway but god forbid you would block a highway for a climate protest.

      It’s crazy how the word Ecoterrorist got associated with the people trying to save the world instead of oil executives

      Intrusive protest is always valid

      Violent protest is always valid

      Protest is always valid

      People who say otherwise are cowards and bootlickers.

        I wouldn’t go that far. Protests can absolutely be used to subvert true opposition by funneling it via astroturfing and similar fake campaigns into ineffective channels.
