Examples include Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion here in the UK.

Personally, I think some charities are groups are genuine in their outburst wanting large firms to stop strangling the natural beauty for profit, however for me there is a red line that can be crossed.

Blocking roads preventing medical care, people going to work, interview and possibly a nice vacation away. This doesn’t really help but make the public look at your group in a bad light.

The same can also be said when attempting to destroy priceless art for a cheap publicity stunt knowing it’ll get clicks on social media.

TLDR - I think some groups are genuinely good whilst others are just shouting in a speakerphone, pissing everyone else off.

What do YOU think?

      A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous.
