      A better idea than torching the public support that was painstakingly earned over decades? I guess every idea is better.

      Putting in political work, petitions, speaking to and informing people, writing the politicians (at best paper mail, its taken more seriously) going into a party and making change from inside, protesting normally as in on the streets and not being disruptive to the public.

      In general, even doing nothing would be better as what they do is driving more people away from climate politics because they associate the highly disruptive, disrespectful and destructive people with those politics and politicians that do constructive work.

      This kind of Extremism is counter productive all the way through. 99% aren’t being understanding about people metaphorically spitting them in the face even if what they stand for is technically a good thing.

      E: fixed a spelling mistake and a missing word

          If you want things to change you need to constructively change things and if you think nothing was done in the last 40 years you are blind. Its not enough, but there was significant movement.

          You don’t change the world by playing toddler and breaking things…

        I disagree that what they are doing brings any negative consequence to the movement though. Most of them are kids with no real choice. They can’t join a party. Heck, most can’t even vote. All the things you said are important and they are being done.

          Most of these people are in their early 20s… And they can still do constructive work, the destructive behavior makes everyone else say its just children and either ignore or hate them. (or see them as a clownshow)

          Oh and you can disagree, but that thinking is just not based in reality.

        It’s such a shame it’s all of our collective necks that boot you’re licking so enthusiastically is stomping on, not just yours.
