  Ehhhh.... they're more so just being a bit... annoying once in a while. They make the cause look bad sometimes. Throwing soup on a van Gogh just looks a little dumb.

    I really wish climate protesters grew some ovaries and literally killed CEOs with firearms, but they are are all limp-dick pacifists and nothing is being done to cease the degeneration of climate change in the past 50 years.

        Problem is I'm not a climate protestor and don't give a shit about the climate because I'm barely able to afford rent. What's stopping you from doing it?
