Its good we don't see eye to eye because as long as you have me to bounce your points of view you have the opportunity to refine them and, hopefully, draw out some of that anger.
Or would you be more satisfied if I aimed for the low street and returned your vitriole?
By acting as you are, you're demonstrating my original point. I'm actually willing to listen to you.
I don't care if roads are blocked. I care if the people blocking it get the police crosshairs on their chests. Violence breeds violence. People lose their lives, gunned down or worst.
Want to hurt the system? Use the rule books. The system rules. Malicious compliance. This isn't a war.
Climate change is killing people now and is going to Kill a lot more later. The violence is packaged up really nicely so you don't feel bad about it, but it's violence, and it's real. The system has failed to take action for 40 years, how long do you suggest people wait before concluding that in system action isn't going to do anything?
What are we, exactly, proposing? Enlighten me. Because right now I'm eager for fresh solutions. I am painfully aware the shit show this planet is and sick and tired of being called guilty for not doing more, when my humanly available resources are exausted and I clearly can't garner enough support to create a ripple movement because everybody is too angry to actually think and act in accord to achieve a grander goal.
