    It’s highly disturbing how the general public had a vastly different reaction to farmers blocking traffic to protest, as opposed to climate activists blocking traffic to protest.

    Extremely nasty, in fact.

      I called my brother and sister in law out over exactly this, because we heard the beeps and honks in the distance in our town. Self reflection lasted all of 5 seconds, and then it was back to regularly scheduled programming. People don’t want to think about the horrifying environmental situation we’re careening towards, so they just… don’t.

      It’s almost like the reaction is about the message, not the act of blocking things.
