    Their only goal is attention

    This is not scammy advertising where “any attention is good attention”. This is an important cause where we need to build support

    They can afford to be unpopular to further the cause.

    Sure, no donations, no popular support, they can just be marginalized and ignored as a bunch of extremists. Everyone cheers when the cops cart them off to jail. Yay for attention though

    Those who are apathetic about the climate are still going to be apathetic, with a bit of rage

    This is where they’re wrong, and where I’m especially frustrated when it’s a cause I agree with. All those middle ground or non-active people who could be wooed as supporters, will now dismiss the cause as a bunch of annoying kooks. Nobody caused change by driving away potential supporters
