What do you mean? I primarily see people taking direct action, and then people complain and say "I agree that this is a problem, but don't protest in this way".
I bet you have the same problems with blocking roads as you do with welding oil pipeline flow control valves shut or storming a coal plant.
No problem whatsoever with that.
My problem is that usually only foments violence - against the protesters - and distrust against the cause.
Agitation is a requirement for change. Sometimes people get upset over agitation, but that's their problem. The agitation wouldn't be necessary if there wasn't a problem to agitate against.
