extinction rebellion recently did demonstration here in finland, against destruction of swamps and peat burning by painting the pillars of parlament house red.
What I find annoying about this is that its not enough, even small child achieves more with its wailing. People just laugh derisively and insult them for disrupting their morning coffee with news of such.
Protest doesn’t work if the people responsible can ignore it. Same reason why blocking traffic just pisses off commuters - some employees being late one day doesn’t affect the schmucks who demand everyone be there at nine sharp.
As an example of success, a New York City garbage strike ended when people threatened to drive past the mayor’s house and chuck it in his yard. Nobody even did anything. They just floated the idea, and all of a sudden that contract dispute didn’t seem so important.
