Direct action may include activities, often nonviolent but possibly violent, targeting people, groups, institutions, actions, or property that its participants deem objectionable.
Nonviolent direct action may include civil disobedience, sit-ins, strikes, and counter-economics. Violent direct action may include political violence, assault, arson, sabotage, and property destruction.
Well I guess we’re both right
Can’t wait for public opinion?
The entire point of protesting is changing public opinion to your side!
It’s France, that’s a very safe bet
Where to learn how to protest? I’d look into the great ones of the modern age: The Indian Independence, US Civil Rights, and Gay Rights movements are all good examples of effective protest movements.
The important person you’re blocking is your future ally.
You want an alternative? Find a fossil fuel executive’s car and block that in. Block the entrance to an oil refinery, or a trash incinerator. Sit in the lobby of the corporate office of Exxon-Mobil. Find an unimpeachable member of your movement, like Rosa Parks was, and use her to garner sympathy for your cause when she gets persecuted for something everyone agrees is wrong.
Blocking random roads and calling it protest is like calling a knocked over paint can “Modern Art”. You’re just pretending you know what artists do and everyone can tell.
You’re referencing well planned and executed protests. They picked their targets and actors to garner sympathy from the public.
The difference is that the original post is claiming that any protest anywhere is just as valid. It isn’t. Blocking random roads does nothing but turn people who just want to get to work against you. They aren’t agents of Capitalism moving to oppress us, they’re your neighbors and the people you want to be turning to your cause.
By all means, if you’re agitated about an issue to protest, please do. Block a road, maybe. But be damn sure you pick the right road to block.
Step 1: Don’t send a “Some of you Lords are alright, don’t come to Parliament tomorrow” letter

I mean, yeah?
I’m sure if I slipped and died in the shower my cats would eat me, and I’d eat them if it was between that and starvation
There are tree eating fungi but that is not one of them.
Based on what?
According to my quick research, symbiotic fungus doesn’t fruit unless the tree is in trouble. That tree seems fine, so then the fungus probably isn’t good for the tree
That fungus would eat the tree if it had the abiliry
and a kid who got pressured into going by his father, but you didn’t bring him up, did you?
