Wow, your entire reply is one giant straw man. Jesus, you created an entire cinematic universe for your straw man as well where your straw man was creating other lesser straw men.
I can tell from this comment reply that you have no interest in arguing in good faith.
One thing that needs to be addressed that you said though, I support climate change activism. I do not support whatever the fuck this is supposed to be. Random people on the street can't do a single fucking thing about climate change. Largely it is corporations that have some control.
The only way that you can make any sort of difference is at the ballot box. Instead of doing this garbage and making everybody hate you, you could be out speaking to people, explaining the dangers to them, winning them over to your ideals with logic and reason. Throwing a tantrum like blocking a road does nothing but let everyone see that you are a child and incapable of using your words. It's not even The correct target audience.
I said before the random people on the street can't do a single fucking thing about climate change, which is true. However they can do something about changing the hearts and minds of those around them. Do it enough and we can vote these fuckers out and put some real climate change legislation out.
Is there something in particular you would like me to address to clear up the "straw man" part? It's kinda hard to reply if you're subjugating the entire comment without any clear indication of what you're talking about.
We both support climate change activism so there's no argument here about that and am glad we can at least both walk away from this with that in mind. I do not condone the use of vehicular assault by officers regardless of my opinion with the group's tactics. I don't agree with all of your statements you've replied with but that's a moot point and continuing just furthers the divide and the main subject matter is slowly being lost.
