Idiots. Fucking idiots.
It's great that they want to take action on climate change but it's daft to think that these sorts of actions are going to achieve anything at all.
What were they actually planning to do? Throw some paint balloons and someone lock themselves to a gate and "say something profound" ?!
Even if they dissuaded whoever from doing whatever, woodside would just appoint someone else to do it?
Gerard the strategy guy should be relegated to handing out the kombucha .
When they glued themselves to the streets it was broadly criticized that the protesters were not targeting the ones responsible for climate change. That was already bs because people who choose a car for mobility are responsible for a part of climate change. Now when they are protesting against people who are even more responsible, like in this case, people like you criticize them for that. It seems like you would prefer if they would not protest at all.
I'm criticising them for being completely ineffective. Worse than that even - counter productive, because they undermine effective climate change activism.
You are talking about them. Seems quite effective.
Well "talking about" yes - but are these people really our best ambassadors? They can't be our best and brightest surely.
