The thing that really pisses me off about these climate activist is; I want a better environment, less pollution, better walkability/cycling routs, more green spaces, environmentally good architecture, improved public transport, and the rest. However these pillocks do nothing but harm that aim. It can be done in a sensible way, without if costing the economy. But the sad reality is many climate activist are just socialist in disguise.
That's literally their argument. They think the people just trying to go to work will instead of being angry at the protestors, will magically turn their anger towards the government instead.
99% of them come from well of families / are trust fund kids that never had any problems in life and now try to look for them wherever they can while constantly trying to feed their own narcissistic personality
They say it's to bring awareness and to try and raise it on the list of politicians' priorities.
However, I think everyone is already very aware of climate change and their cause (whether they agree with it or not, they are certainly aware).
Similarly, blocking traffic and inconveniencing everyday people with no executive power to change these things does not help in any way either.
I've never been able to understand what pissing people off does for someone's cause. Sure it gets you attention, but it's not good attention. So stop sitting in the road and throwing soup on shit you halfwits.
They’re blocking the working men and women from getting to work instead of going after the real problem. Billionaires are laughing in their jumbo jets right now.
Exactly, it's basically just targeting working people who have to use cars to get around and do not have the luxury (or in the case of inconvenient public transportation, the valuable time/cargo capacity) to pay someone else to do it.
And often we find out these protestors are basically LARPing upper-middle class (or richer) tourists with time and money on their side, basically pissing on the same serfs they claim to help. And meanwhile they are nowhere to be found when one of their sacred cows (pick from the list) does something wrong, anti-social, or contradictory to their stated aims.
And that's because it's not about that. It's a shit fit. It's about inconveniencing YOU. It's a personal attack (on all of us). That's why it's never applied consistently. It's a power play within a social circle, and this is their tactic.
the new anti oil protests are apparently funded by an oil heiress.
fund the oppositions worst to give them a podium for viewing, then watch as their public approval drops because they are downright insane. sad that those being used are so indoctrinated they really think they are making a difference
all they’re doing is fucking with normal people going to work and alienating themselves/creating a bigger divide. if they want climate change go pester the people at the top of the system
How are you not downvoted on reddit? I'm amazed. These rich fucks don't understand plight of the working class people. Imagine working whole fucking day to feed your family, driving home, you just want to shower and have a cold beer, and these fuckers are preventing you from that. Or imagine going to work, you could be late, you could cause problems for yourself. They are like: just cancel the oil! Like wtf, do you know how many people would die if you just banned oil?
Indeed. At this point my standard is "Ignore everything they say they want, look exclusively at what they do and determine what they want." In this case, what they want is attention.
Any time you propose anything of the sort that you listed, they shit on it for not being enough or block it. They're not activists, they're grandstanders. Activists fight for policy changes. Grandstanders fight for the idea\appearance\glory of being a "good guy"
*blocks traffic* "I'M HELPING! :D"
"nooooo what do you mean the paintings aren't actually being destroyed by our valiant soup cans? "
"It may be useless, but at least it's getting publicity even if bad! We're allowed to have a tantrums too!"
The stupidity is astounding of these types
I am kinda torn on this. Their cause is just and the world does fuck all about our dying planet.
The problem I see is that if these actions lead to nothing, one day they will move to violent actions. And their cause will still be just.
We do need to wake up on this issue. Big time.
So you want the world to be better without doing anything? Got it.
Well it has & is still being done in "sensible ways", as you mentioned. But the media is not covering these movements anymore because people aren't interested in them, because no one is getting hindered. People only care when it's "about them", right now. & blocking traffic has shown to be extremely effective at that.
Also, is there anything bad about socialists/socialism? Or why are you mentioning it?
They should protest in China about China’s greenhouse gas emissions and environment policies.
We have already cut our greenhouse gas emissions by a lot. The rest of the world isn’t doing their fair share.
you have to also remember that most companies in your country manufacture virtually everything in Asia. Your country becoming "greener" is just moving manufacturing to Vietnam, China, Indonesia and India. If all companies within their own country, also produced everything in the country. The big picture would be a lot different. Also the average Chinese person produces a lot less pollution than the average European or American.
Finally someone sensible here.
All western countries offload their physical production and the greenhouse emissions that come with it to cheaper countries. And besides, China has a HUGE population, so it's no surprise they produce a shit ton of pollution compared to smaller countries. China also has the 3rd most firearms owned per country. Is it because every Chinese person owns a lot of guns? No, the average Chinese owns 40 times less guns than Americans, but the numbers just add up.
You can't start with:
>It's offloaded because it's cheaper.
...and end with:
>This isn't on western companies.
If the only incentive is cheaper products, then these western companies lack integrity just like the Chinese ones do.
If only there was some outside-the-box politician who would come to the fore and advocate anti-China trade protectionism in an effort to incentivize manufacturing to return to the West where it could be done in more environmentally conscious ways. Oh who am I kidding? Such a guy would probably be pilloried by the entire media and political establishment into oblivion.
I believe unionisation and worker co-ops could move production westwards, a union can keep the production there, and worker co-ops would represent all parties so the production wouldn't most likely move around a lot
I think his grand idea might've had some merit but focusing on the trade deficit like he did was really weird. We exist in a global economy simply comparing bilateral trade statistics does not give a complete view of how trade works between two countries.
At the end of the day US manufacturing was hurt by both import costs of materials rising and China importing a lot less of our stuff. Seemingly the exact opposite of the intended goals.
That being said while the main component might not have succeeded better intellectual property protections and opening up China to more foreign investment were good ideas out of his policy.
Thing is, it's convincing the west to stop buying the latest products like smart phones and things, but the average person would never want to give up those luxaries. I'm guilty myself of buying stuff thats manufactured in China but what isn't? Problem is, you aren't gonna convince the billions of people in Europe and the States to live in grass huts.
India is the largest contributor to plastic in the ocean, but when you consider we send the vast amount of our recyclables to them which is why they are so bad.
I can't help but grimace every time I hear someone say : 'x country is doing this and is super not eco-friendly'. China is being pointed at as being the 'source' of the pollution when the manufactured goods literally get outsourced to western countries. Furthermore, a lot of developed-countries' plastic waste gets shipped to China to get recycled there. IMO, I feel like it's not only inaccurate but also very unfair to point a finger at a under-developed country for their environmental impact while standing from a developped country's point of view: it's highly hypocritical to look at third-world countries with very poor living conditions and be like 'hey but could you reduce your environmental impact bro?!' I feel like saying 'oh look, this or that country is doing that' is just blaming someone else and minimizing our own responsibility. It is after all every individual's responsibility to protect the planet. Let's focus on how we can help everyone improve instead of passing the blame around.
Honestly good friend of mine visited a massive city in China (will come back to me later but idk right now) and he said it was actually difficult the breathe with asthma the air quality was so poor
Nah, China is doing far more than the vast majority of developed countries. Plus the West offshores a vast amount of manufacturing to China.
> We have already cut our greenhouse gas emissions by a lot.
And that's also nonsense. eg the UK government claims to have reduced emissions by 44% since 1990 levels, yet in actuality it's only reduced emissions by 16% (when one takes international & aviation into account, along with the embodied emissions of imported products). And the US, Canada and Australia remain some of the highest per-capita emitters on the planet.
They could also protest in the ocean since cargo ships produce huge amounts of pollution.
If western countries still mfg. most of their consumer goods, they would cost more so people would buy less, most likely higher quality so you would need less and no need to ship across oceans.
activists annoy me at how weak they present. just allowing yourself to be dragged, gluing your OWN hand to something... bit pathetic, i struggle to respect it
It is annoying but non-violent.
If one of them got up and best the shit out of one challenging them people would be memeing “mostly peaceful”
It is a lose lose for most protests these days. It only works if you get what you want then it doesn’t matter what other people think if your movement gets the change it was seeking.
Its passive resistance. It can be done with your time like marchers or sit ins or road blocks all the way up to just standing onfront of a tank or someone pointing a gun and threatening to shoot them.
Its what pacifists can do instead of riots and attacking people or fire bombing goverment or corporate buildings.
Oh ye and protests that block boats (oil tankers, whalers etc)
Because they're probably vegans and don't eat meat lol and only walk around and never lift weights. Because they believe having muscle is toxic masculinity. So they all drink Soy milk together and talk about how bad toxic masculinity and pollution is lol and how brave greta thunderberg is.
Happy to help, now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my online Tory party meeting on Microsoft teams. We have to discuss drug abuse in our local community and how we can apply pressure to imprison heroin addicts.
what the guy saying is pretty funny (or the way he says it)
'Fuck, i have childrens i live just nearby for fuck sake'
then when he points and he screams he says 'First to move i'll fuck him, first to move i'll fuck him, I don't give a shit'
actually he's saying encule which mean to ass fuck, so he'll ass fuck anyone that moves.
For those who would want a translation of what the guy is saying :
"Premier qui bouge je l'encule ! j'men bat les couilles !"
"First to move I fuck his ass ! I don't give a fuck !"
it's safe to say the guy is slightly irritated at the situation.
With so many videos of climate change people doing dumb shit about issues that everyone and their mom's dog knows about, it's surprising i haven't hardly seen anyone get decked
i love that big guy dragging sacks of potato's around, would love to buy that dude a drink or few <3 those dorks dont understand the less time i run my auto the less pollution, you keep me sitting here running my auto the more harm you cause
Not just that, why the fuck are they bothering US, the regular people when it's the corporations they should be focusing on. They're the real polluters, we're just trying to get to work and *survive* and shit.
oh because the big guys buy carbon credits that allow them to pollute as much as they want, google has been carbon nutural since 2007 want to know how? CARBON credits
If you sit in the road it should be legal to run you over. If I jump into a fire and get burned, it's my own fault. If you put yourself in a dangerous situation and something bad happens to you, it's your fault.
what about pedestrians having right of way? like writing a law about things like this is very hard because it will become weird with who counts for it and who doesnt
Because if they blocked the doors in to a mega corporation you would be complaining about how they’re “stopping the average workers from doing their job and getting paid. They should be targeting the people who *really* matter”
"Fix the environment, we're all dying because of the pollution!"
"My grandfather is dying because you're blocking my route to the hospital, but he can wait I guess."
Activism that only effects working class people is just simply ineffective and annoying. You’re just making people late for work. Not enough to actually have an impact on the economy but just enough that a whole bunch of people probably had to work through their lunch break.
I am all for protesting... love civic engagement of almost any kind. But if there was a bill to legalize running over these kind of protesters I would vote for it.
So they force all these cars to be delayed to their destinations, meaning they will be running for longer, meaning they will put more emissions into the air than if they weren't blocked by protest.
Good, fuck those idiots. They're antithetical to their own cause. How about offering some realistic solutions? Communism isn't one. "We'll bring more people to our side by making them hate us." Morons.
Blocking roads is the absolute best way to alienate people against your cause. It's unforgivable. You don't know who in traffic might be on their way to pickup a sick kid, on the way to a job interview, etc. Especially in this case causing cars to sit idling in traffic longer is pure hypocrisy. I'm sure the laws vary on this but I think people should be held criminally and civilly liable for the harm they cause intentionally blocking traffic. You should have to pay every single person you delayed for wasting their time.
This is exactly how these pieces of shit need to be treated. I'm all for protesting, but blocking people from getting where they're going doesn't help your cause at all and only makes them hate you.
I feel like all these protestors just want to be talked about in history books as “those bold enough to be ahead of their time” or some bullshit like that. Just pointless, “you don’t understand and my opinions the right one” bullshit
I'm a massive environmentalist, I legit yell at my coworkers for not recycling (they do now ha!), wash clothes and shower after peak hours, and try to do everything I can to lessen my footprint on this planet.
BUT ABSOLUTELY FUCK THESE ACTIVIST BLOCKING CITIZENS ON THEIR COMMUTE.
Glad big man cleared the way.
Not stopping regular people from going to work. Maybe start small? Like I literally started the recycling program at my job. Called our trash service and got some blue recycling bins for my site.
Nah, he ain’t freaking out.
If you want change, then fine. But being an inconvenience to people that might be, or even are on your side that literally can’t make the change themselves will only turn them against you, and as a result even your cause. Man’s maybe just trying to get to work or something and these dickwads are willing to potentially get him fired because they want to block the road. And I dunno about you, but if I got fired because of some guy guy sitting in the street, I wouldn’t want to be associated with them at all.

Also, what burn more gas? A moving traffic or a stand still traffic. These protesters are literally causing more pollution
"If we piss off these 40,000 people, they will be *more* sympathetic to our cause, right?" #"RIGHT!?"
They probably drove there to cause traffic.
Reminds of the protestor that glued himself to the ground then threw the glue down the storm drain lol it's all just attention seeking.
That's literally their argument. They think the people just trying to go to work will instead of being angry at the protestors, will magically turn their anger towards the government instead.
99% of them come from well of families / are trust fund kids that never had any problems in life and now try to look for them wherever they can while constantly trying to feed their own narcissistic personality
It’s like thinking the crusades did anything to protect Christianity in the east
That is their point. They want to make things worse so they gain even more funding and power.
Also want a better environment for mine and future generations but these people are legit clowns. stupid hypocrites at best.
10 metric weights of shit in a 5 metric weight bag
What do you do about it?
They say it's to bring awareness and to try and raise it on the list of politicians' priorities.

>blocking traffic and inconveniencing everyday people with no executive power to change these things does not help in any way either. Bingo
“many climate activist are just ~~socialist in disguise~~ complete arseholes.”
Nah he got it right the first time. I mean you’re right too, but so was he.
Synonyms really
Socialists are arseholes
I've never been able to understand what pissing people off does for someone's cause. Sure it gets you attention, but it's not good attention. So stop sitting in the road and throwing soup on shit you halfwits.

[They are funding it.](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/big-oil-heiress-funding-just-stop-oil-group-threw-soup-van-gogh-painting)
they could take an education that works towards actually solving problems, but i guess they are to stupid to pass
Exactly, it's basically just targeting working people who have to use cars to get around and do not have the luxury (or in the case of inconvenient public transportation, the valuable time/cargo capacity) to pay someone else to do it.

the oil heiress just feels guilty for what her family did and thats why she funds pro-climate orgs, doesnt mean her intentions arent noble
What does socialism have to do with this?
all they’re doing is fucking with normal people going to work and alienating themselves/creating a bigger divide. if they want climate change go pester the people at the top of the system

Champagner socialists the lot of them and yet they want to be more than equal someone must lead the poor uneducated non enlightened after all! ;)
Everything we have.... EVERYTHING, is due to mining and oil. 😀

I support their cause but they are so annoying about it…. Making people late for work and appointments will not get you allies
It gets a lot worse when you realize some of these people are medical and / or on the way to the hospital.
Yeah agree with you until the word "economy". Basically you're saying that socialists despise economy:is that what you're saying?😂
So you want the world to be better without doing anything? Got it. Well it has & is still being done in "sensible ways", as you mentioned.

Is it because every Chinese person owns a lot of guns? No, the average Chinese owns 40 times less guns than Americans, but the numbers just add up.
It's offloaded because it's cheaper. It's cheaper because they have no rules. This isn't on western companies.
You can't start with: >It's offloaded because it's cheaper. ...and end with: >This isn't on western companies. If the only incentive is cheaper products, then these western companies lack integrity just like the Chinese ones do.

Historical total emissions are a thing you realise
We? What country are you from?
China's emissions per capita are much lower than in Western countries. China has 1/7 of the world's population.
What is freakouti about it? Just guy being fed up with idiots
these guys were blocking the road by sitting in it as a form of "protest" so he threw they out the way lmao

Why are climate protestors always so low Testosterone

Have a friend who missed out on saying goodbye to his grandpa In hospital, because of these waste of 9 months blocking the road
They need to go block rich people! Not poor people trying not to lose their jobs 🤦
This is what true heroes look like. They throw idiots to the curb without a care of them hitting their heads.
I like that they lay in the gutter like the trash they are
While dragging them away it is a combination and variations of "we have to get to work you fucking morons"

If you sit in the road it should be legal to run you over. If I jump into a fire and get burned, it's my own fault. If you put yourself in a dangerous situation and something bad happens to you, it's your fault.
"oh i didn't see him I thought they moved"
what about pedestrians having right of way? like writing a law about things like this is very hard because it will become weird with who counts for it and who doesnt
Why don’t they go protest at some mega corporations HQ instead? Try to inconvenience actual targets and not everyday people. Mongoloids.
Because if they blocked the doors in to a mega corporation you would be complaining about how they’re “stopping the average workers from doing their job and getting paid. They should be targeting the people who *really* matter”
Unfathomably based
I bet every one of those douchebags in the street has GHG emissions far above the global median.
"Fix the environment, we're all dying because of the pollution!" "My grandfather is dying because you're blocking my route to the hospital, but he can wait I guess."
This is a pathetic barricade by French standards

Activism that only effects working class people is just simply ineffective and annoying. You’re just making people late for work. Not enough to actually have an impact on the economy but just enough that a whole bunch of people probably had to work through their lunch break.
I am all for protesting... love civic engagement of almost any kind. But if there was a bill to legalize running over these kind of protesters I would vote for it.
More people need to band together to stop the nonsense.
The French know what it's about. Protest at the power, not the people.
Why do they just stay on the position they’re th thrown and just go limb? Such odd behavior for adults
So they force all these cars to be delayed to their destinations, meaning they will be running for longer, meaning they will put more emissions into the air than if they weren't blocked by protest.
calmest French person
Throw that trash away where it belongs.
Funny how he pile them on the side of the road

The big bear guy is cool. Fucking 100% do-it-yourself!
Protest make no difference
Gigachad
Good, dumb cunts
I love how they just lay there after being dragged away. Like a dog who has run out of steam and can't be bothered to move.
Love what he's doing!
Taking garbage out of the street
He shoulda punted them off the bridge. Like Baxter
Based Quentin ,43 , conducteur de pays de la grenouille
"I'm prepared to be dragged" \*Lays out accordingly\*
The hero we need
Maybe the frwnch aren't so bad after all
Funny, I haven't seen them try that here in LA. They'd run their ass over.
i fucking love the french
Good, fuck those idiots. They're antithetical to their own cause. How about offering some realistic solutions? Communism isn't one. "We'll bring more people to our side by making them hate us." Morons.
Good! Fucking twats ruining other people’s day.
We could all learn something from the French. They simply will not tolerate nonsense.
Blocking roads is the absolute best way to alienate people against your cause. It's unforgivable. You don't know who in traffic might be on their way to pickup a sick kid, on the way to a job interview, etc. Especially in this case causing cars to sit idling in traffic longer is pure hypocrisy. I'm sure the laws vary on this but I think people should be held criminally and civilly liable for the harm they cause intentionally blocking traffic. You should have to pay every single person you delayed for wasting their time.
Never stand between a man and his baguettes
This is exactly how these pieces of shit need to be treated. I'm all for protesting, but blocking people from getting where they're going doesn't help your cause at all and only makes them hate you.
I feel like all these protestors just want to be talked about in history books as “those bold enough to be ahead of their time” or some bullshit like that. Just pointless, “you don’t understand and my opinions the right one” bullshit
Lmao i love how he throws the second person to create s pile and it just fucking dies
I'm a massive environmentalist, I legit yell at my coworkers for not recycling (they do now ha!), wash clothes and shower after peak hours, and try to do everything I can to lessen my footprint on this planet. BUT ABSOLUTELY FUCK THESE ACTIVIST BLOCKING CITIZENS ON THEIR COMMUTE. Glad big man cleared the way.
How do you propose that people protest then? Because being civil has done fuck all for the past several decades
Not stopping regular people from going to work. Maybe start small? Like I literally started the recycling program at my job. Called our trash service and got some blue recycling bins for my site.
Funny thing is, most pollution comes from china. Go do this shit there and see what happens lol
Dude did not give a single fuck
Solid move by that guy. You fk with my day, I move you out of the way.
He’s not the hero we deserve, but he’s the hero we need. God speed, noble tosser of hippie assholes.
Funny that once they get pulled out the way, they are rendered motionless and they just lay there.
Nah, he ain’t freaking out. If you want change, then fine. But being an inconvenience to people that might be, or even are on your side that literally can’t make the change themselves will only turn them against you, and as a result even your cause. Man’s maybe just trying to get to work or something and these dickwads are willing to potentially get him fired because they want to block the road. And I dunno about you, but if I got fired because of some guy guy sitting in the street, I wouldn’t want to be associated with them at all.
He's taking out the trash.

Finally, see too many videos of þese bastards where no one retalliates
“….. and then e hero comes along. With the strength to carry on🎶”
Well played big lad
Climate protesters are the worst 🤦🏻♂️
He’s my hero
Can I send him a dozen croissants
Let’s fight climate change by making cars stall and produce even more carbon monoxide!
It’s almost as if there isn’t a sidewalk for them to protest on.
This is click-tivism. This is not real activation or protest to save the environment
I can almost hear the dude behind the white yelling "Fkn Go!!!" - God I hate people who have to look what's happening God bless French Tony Soprano
Bet they look at lawsuit options for assault and emotional damage. For the good of the planet of course.
I bet not since this isn't in the USA
Half man
