I was absolutely baffled by the downvote brigade in this thread, who see no qualms with blocking traffic as a form of protest, so I tried to find some numbers as to what non Lemmy users think of this kind of protest, and not surprisingly, it turns out that people are overwhelmingly against it.

The best statistics article I could find in my short search: …yougov.com/…/47565-american-opinion-portest-tact…

So for the USA at least, 80% of polled People considered blocking traffic usually/always unacceptable, while only 11% were usually/always ok with it.

Lemmy users on average really do hold some fringe opinions, which makes me wonder about the demographics of the users on here :)
