It's safe to say that young climate alarmists don't win anyone to their cause by gluing themselves to paintings or doorways or blocking traffic, but you know what? Those protesters don't like having to block traffic either, but they have to, because if climate disaster is to be diverted, we need to ban all fossil fuels today.
Here's some really satisfying video of a trucker physically moving some idiots out of the road. That alone would be worthy of a post, but check out this hot take — they're desperate and not any happier about it than you are. They just have no other choice.
Please don't kill peaceful protesters for blocking your vehicle!

You don't have to stay calm, but assault is illegal.
Protesters don't like that they have to do this either.
But they are desperate because nothing really worked the past 40 years.pic.twitter.com/1oDzy85tj1
So what is the driver supposed to do about these peaceful protesters to make them move? Sign onto the Paris Accords?
Imbeciles.
You can't be serious.

Nope. You sit in the middle of the road, it’s your fault if you get hurt. I won’t shed a single tear over it.

It's funny, we didn't see you out there, Leon. Do you think tweeting this is going to stop climate change?
I’m glad I live in a state that allows me to continue on my way

Road blockers are vermin and should be treated as such.

1. They don’t “have to” impede the freedom of others and put themselves in danger.

2. False arrest (impeding someone’s freedom of movement) is a crime. So, they are committing a crime.
Not allowing people to get to work to feed their families is not peaceful. If you choose to be on the road, accidents happen.

If they didn’t want to do it, they should move. Nothing is compelling them to stay there.

Very telling that no one came to their defense and that bystanders were laughing. Almost as if no one respects them.

“the protestors don’t like that they have to do this either 😢”
— Wholesome Crow (@crow_none) July 13, 2023
This is a flat out lie. They lavish the attention they get and don’t care at all about the people they’re harming.
This is a crime and law enforcement doesn’t act because local politicians appease the protestors.
You are on the losing side of this argument. Nobody wants to kill them. But don't think for a minute that we are not able to use force to remove them from a highway. Do you not realize it is illegal and dangerous to block a highway?

Yeah, you sit in the middle of the street, you take the odds in your own hands.
— Adam Hommey (@adamhommey) July 13, 2023
They look like they were threatening motorists; some self-defense on the part of the motorists is called for.
Please, stop bothering hard working people with your middle class bourgeois actions. They are trying to make ends meet. Take your little protest to the powerfuls not the working class.

Think I’m going to side with the driver here, buddy.
He's a god among men

Again, what is the point of blocking the road if not to antagonize and infuriate people who are just trying to get where they're going? You want a reaction, and in this case they got it.
