    JSO once again proving the anti-democratic nature of their movement by attacking a foundational document in our democracy.

            Haha funny joke but they have a point. They would achieve so much more if they actually did something rather than this sort of thing. There are actual people who are actually trying to implement political policy they could join them. Smashing the case doesn’t seem to achieve anything, by your own emission they didn’t actually break it so what’s the point. They literally did nothing.

      its not antidemocratic to want a planet to breathe in.

      a piece of paper is not more important than that.

        No it’s not. But it’s also not really related to anything that’s actually the problem or remotely relevant.

        I agree with their objectives in the broad strokes, I just question their methods. Every time they are reported about, it’s always because they’ve done something strange and irritating to the general population. They’re not targeting big businesses, or airports, or car production plants, which you would have thought they would have done. No, they’re always throwing paint on something.

        It’s weird and pointless.

            To make what happen. What is “it”?

            I simply object to strawman arguments suggesting that any course of action is a good course of action. No it’s not, it’s stupid if it’s stupid. It doesn’t matter how worthy the cause is. Oh how self-righteous you feel about it.

            Messing around with people’s lives doesn’t help anyone, it doesn’t help the cause, it doesn’t help spread the message, all it does is make people hate you. I object to them turning climate activism into some kind of publicity stunt. Publicity stunts require a purpose, these don’t have one, they are simply causing trouble for the sake of it. They know that none of what they are doing will have any impact because they’re not targeting anyone, anything, or any entity that has anything to do with the claimate crisis.

            JSO are literally employing cult like tactics where their followers are being told that it’s them against the world (and they have exclusive access to the truth).

            No one is denying climate change is an issue the needs addressed. The only thing that is being debated is whether our response is proportionate to the threat. There’s no way that offending ~80% of the population by threatening sacred cows like beloved art and legal documents is a productive approach.
