    It’s almost like the media is trying to make people hate them so oil companies can get their way.

    Don’t support these companies.

    What’s the “acceptable” form of protest in your opinion? Literally anything they do gets an article about how wrong it is, because they are trying to upset those with power.

      Yep. Years back the Occupy Wallstreet protests were really gaining traction until corporate media decided to go to the camps and find the most insane examples of people to interview to represent the protest as a whole. The whole thing crumbled shortly after and Wall Street is still ruining running our lives to this day.

      An acceptable form of protests not only gets the message across but wins people over to your side. Meanwhile you seem to be claiming that any publicity is good publicity, as if anyone is unaware of your message, and don’t care that you’re alienating the people who could be helping you

        Tell me how these protests are upsetting people with power.

        They downvoted you because they have no answer to your question.

        People in power want people to be apathetic and uneducated. Any protest that reminds people how fucked we are, and that there is this massive looming problem that the people in power are doing nothing about upsets the people with power.

          Again, how this protest reminds the people in power?

            any protest that reminds people

            The people in power want the general population to be apathetic and forget how fucked we are. So any protest that reminds them of the problem hurts the agenda of the people in power.

              How warning the general population will bother the people in power?

              If you want to bother them you should go to them, not some random bikers.
