Okay, ignore the protest part for a moment and look at the crime…

No. The “crime” is the means necessary to make the protest heard.

A group conspire to intentionally disrupt a major highway, breaking multiple violations including endangerment of motorists, major disruption of public and emergency services, and recruitment of 45 others to aid the intent, causing~ $3M in damages. And, yes, people of the publiic obviously sustained injuries but there is fortunately no known causation of death. This for 4 days resulting in over 700,000 people impacted and an estimated loss of 50,000 hours to the public

Which is less than nothing compared to the climate change and direct death caused by the fossil fuel industries out of pure greed every fucking day!

Get out of here with your Texas Sharpshooter fallacy bullshit!

Now that could be for whatever reason. The Tories, MAGA supporters, West Ham losing, or YouTubers; doesn’t matter.

Of COURSE it matters! You can’t just wave away their mission to basically save the world to make only the means matter!

By your metric, not only was Gandhi and Martin Luther King wrong, but so were fucking WWII resistance fighters!

Whether or not you’re white, YOU’RE the moderate MLK is talking about here:
