  • I was going to say that the first thing that comes to my head re protests is marching - which while disruptive is planned.

    I think the difference with these protests is that they apply classic obstacle based protest - like stopping workers from say cutting down trees - to a large section of the public going about their ordinary lives. That contrasts with someone doing their job which will cause a particular harm/action.

  • I guess one of their main points might be that a large section of the public really need to become more familiar with the issue they're protesting about?

  • Yeah I do get that.

    I guess I'm drawing a distinction between the two to highlight why a lot of people might react against it. Idk if those same people would have the same reaction to say protestor chaining themselves to trees to prevent logging. My gut says they probably would, but 🤷
