    JSO didn’t exist in 1996 or 2008 or 2018 or 2020. It was founded in 2022.

    You’re giving JSO traffic obstructions credit for declines that happened decades before they came into existence, and in countries where they havent actually disrupted traffic.

    You’re giving them credit for “declines” that have actually been increases since the time they started regularly obstructing traffic in 2022.

    Obstructing traffic is not an effective means of protest. Target actual agents and entities associated with the oil industry, not the victims.

      Sigh… and how would you like to quantify that when there are so many factors?

      Obstructing traffic is not an effective means of protest. Target actual agents and entities associated with the oil industry, not the victims.

      They are effective and bring about awareness among other things.
