For some context, its not regular white annoying climate activists. They were apparently against some actually quite toxic mining that their government just approved on due to outright bribery. From my understanding it was an open pit copper mine that got approved and the protest was because that might actually and incredibly kill or hurt people in the local area because those are quite bad for obvious reasons.
They are still retarded in how they went about it, and the second guy absolutely deserved to get shot for being stupid. Its even a shame the woman in the background who said "Go on shot us" didn't get hit.
But its one of the few environmental issues that isn't made up bunk and worth protesting. Just maybe not in a bumble fuck retarded way like this.
Thanks for the context.
I still don’t understand how these morons think blocking a road is a good idea. It just pisses people off and the optics look terrible.
Go protest in front of the state house.
The idea I think is to piss people off, and then try to channel their anger towards the government. Get them angry first, and then tell them why they should be. Or at the very least cause enough of a "economic and bureaucratic" problem that the government is willing to talk with you to end it.
Its a very "main character" idea of fixing a problem, one that requires thinking you have a lot more sway and power than makes any sense.
You have to be an especially idiotic kind of useful idiot to go out of your way to piss off someone controlling a couple thousand pounds of self propelled steel. With how common road rage incidents are, I'm actually a bit surprised that these "just stop oil" retards haven't found themselves in a reenactment of Death Race 2000 already.
It only makes sense in places like the UK where the cucked police defend the protesters and arrest commuters trying to stop them.
