We only discuss their tactics briefly when they do something dramatic and get on the news.
When people hear about their tactics, ask why they're going so far, and look into environmental issues as a result, I think that can have a much longer lasting impact.
And that's where we disagree. I don't think anybody is researching anything. The average person does not have the drive or attention span for a Step 2.
Plus, I agree with their core ideology, yet I still think people who do this stuff are assholes, and I'm immediately annoyed on the outset. To expect people who aren't invested in climate change to look past the "asshole" is a pretty big ask.
