    I wrote that badly. I wanted to say that this sort of activism is valuable because it starts conversations like this. Which educates people, raising awareness.

      Its fair but looking through the discussions here it seems like mostly people discussing the efficiency of demonstrations and supporting each other on it being the right thing to do (and a few dis agreeing on that too). But it seems like the point of the discussion is not the environmental crisis but the demonstration and vandalism

      I dont see many becoming convinced or becoming aware about the environmental crisis, who were not already aware.

        Oh I didn’t notice that.

        Took a quick look at Reddit and it’s more encouraging. Some posts have a fair number of comments about private jet emissions, others posts didn’t have a single one about it.
