The street gluers must be paid crisis actors (just like the GOP projects) to make climate activism seem like a bunch of crazy people.

The granddaughter of the oil tycoon J. Paul Getty has donated millions to support activist groups like Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil

I mean she claims to be taking action against climate change, but I don't know, smells fishy

I've spent enough time around wannabe revolutionaries to think most of those people are honest and really believe impeding some poor people from going to work will help make the masses adopt their cause.

It does help their belief system that they and most of the people around them were convinced by some asshole doing something similar.
