    No doubt, no doubt. There are plenty of articles claiming JSO protests are effective.

    Of course, if they were actually effective, you wouldn’t need to point to news articles promoting the virtues of standing around in the street. You’d be able to point to oil consumption rates. If their protests were actually effective, oil consumption rates would be falling.

    The reality is that those articles do nothing but make you feel good, like something is being done. But reality doesn’t care about feelings, or the fiddling articles designed to make us feel good while the world burns.
