Fuck ther shit up until they gain a conscience
They won’t, and it’s pretty naive to think actions like this will cause them to grow a conscience.
Stunts like these are fun in a cathartic way, but not even a mild inconvenience or cost to them. It ultimately yields nothing.
I don't, I was exaggerating.
I do think though that it's about time the general public stops being so passive about climate change among other things.
Well I don't know if them gaining a conscience is realistic. But if doing the wrong thing becomes too costly and inconvenient they might stop doing those things. Well... they might do slightly less wrong things.
It'll be cheaper to remove those who make it expensive.
