it’s not about convincing anyone anymore. we’re well beyond that point. those who are not convinced can get fucked now. we need drastic action and it’s not happening. disrupting the function of society to demand change is effective.
No, it is activism. It actively draws more attention to these causes, because attention drawing things like gluing yourself to a road attract the media to report on it. Sadly, if everyone just passively protests, it is not enough anymore.
Also, gluing yourself to the road that keeps the machines contributing to global warming from running on it is kind of the point.
Being nice doesn’t work anymore. The world is actively burning. If anything, activists should be even more pissed than this, and angry at their leaders/elders for denying global warming.
Oh you find it annoying. Well, let me tell you a surefire way to step them from blocking the streets: just take proper steps to prevent co2 imission. Or you can cry about it on lemmy I suppose.
Gluing yourself to roads (and damaging pieces of art) is the pinnacle of useless or even counterproductive activism.
You annoy everybody including those who agree with you. With a message that is new to nobody.
You bring no new argument or information to the table that could possibly convince those who don’t agree with you.
You are literally sitting around doing nothing.
This is not activism, this is passivism.
It also does not help, when you fly to the maldives on vacation right afterwards or do other similar schizo things.

“We need to raise awareness about this thing everyone is already incredibly aware of!”
How?
“Hm… How about something that’s low enough stakes people can continue to ignore us, but also in a way that will make people hate us!”
