So you're advocating for people being so selfish that the death of a livable environment is secondary to being fully comfortable today?

[-] Thundernerd@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Yes that is exactly what I’m saying. Not.

I want it to be brought to people’s attention, I want countries to take action. All I hear around me is that people who do this are seen as loonies, as idiots who don’t have anything better to do, which paints a bad picture for the cause they’re trying to bring attention to.

Oil companies love that you think any noticeable protest is crazy.

[-] Thundernerd@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Stop alienating people. You’re most definitely not helping the cause either.

I also never said I think it is crazy. I find the way they’re going about it strange, sure, but if I have to choose between nothing happening or this then I’ll choose for this.

"I think this is so silly" isn't alienating? Ok.

I indeed did not think that that is alienating. It might be because English is not my native tongue but thought the word silly didn't have any negative connotations. If that is the case then my apologies for that. Do you have any suggestions which word I should've used? I could've gone for 'strange' or 'weird', but those are negative to me in this context.

I do wonder why you're coming up against me with such a negative attitude. The way you're writing your comments are full of blame already, even though you don't know my stance. Just because I think the way protests like these go about it isn't the best doesn't mean I am the devil and I support oil companies and whatnot, that's such a leap to make.

Especially your comment "Oil companies love that you think any noticeable protest is crazy." is funny to me, because from my perspective YOUR comments are what oil companies love, you make me not want to associate with this subject at all.
