Wimbledon is a sporting event which has a posh reputation, many seats being traditionally reserved for the upper and ruling classes. For example, on the centre court they have a area called the ‘Royal Box’. I would argue that there are probably quite a few oil execs in the audience.
Arguably the most impactful figure for climate change is Greta and I can’t think of one instance where she has angered working people to gain traction (maybe I’m wrong) and I believe she has done much more for the cause than getting on the news for causing a disturbance…
you like to bring up things that are beside the point, it does not matter if they have a problem with her for a real reason or a made up one, just that a lot of people discredit her because of her trying to bring attention to climate change. I was just responding to the “I can’t think of one instance where she has angered working people to gain traction”
Fair enough - I definitely should have been more precise.
I’m trying to criticize protests that actively alienate people who agree with the cause.
What I’m trying to understand is whether Just Stop Oil wants to inconvenience the average joe or whether they are targeting those with the power to make a difference? Imo, at times it feels like the former more than the latter.
If they were so dumb they saw a protest for something they agree with then stop because it’s an annoyance then they did not give a shit about the issue in the first place.

Yeah you never know what their research looked like. Maybe they checked and got a whole bench of oil execs in there.
Sounds like they knew what they were doing.
They weren’t at centre court…

What??? I hear Americans hating her for “trying to get attention and stopping people from doing their jobs” all the time
Based on evidence or feelings though lol

I never said stop supporting the cause – but the way I’m feeling is other groups are more effective is all.
