[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 365305, member: 35"] Just Stop Oil's actions are ineffective because they're ego-driven. The idea that people can do whatever they want as long as they do it in the name of climate change awareness is ridiculous. In order for activism to be effective, there needs to be a correlation between the actions taken and the cause promoted. People committing random acts of vandalism or super gluing themselves to the ground make[I][B] themselves[/B][/I] the center of attention, not the cause they supposedly care about. It's foolish to think otherwise. Also, it just so happens that the US military is the world's biggest single greenhouse gas emitter. I find that interesting, considering some Just Stop Oil supporters also support the military industrial complex. One would think humanitarian reasons would be enough to not support a US military response, especially to conflicts that began as a result of US provocation. However, if one chooses to be smug while getting in your face about climate change, you'd think reigning in the US military would be one of their priorities.
