I have no idea what smashing perfectly functional devices is supposed to accomplish. I mean yeah, it's an anti-tech rally, but creating e-waste is kinda shitty.
Actually, I don't think I get the point of this whole thing at all. They're not rallying against climate change or fascism, it's just "phone bad". I guess I'm just too old to get it...
Destroying perfectly functional tech really bothered me too from an environmentalist standpoint. I am always trying to rescue old but working tech and trying to find a use for it or fix it up to pass on to someone in need.
