There is no version of protest that isn’t an inconvenience. People who are more mad at the protesters in the streets than they are at whatever they are protesting are exactly the people that need to hear the message the protesters are trying to spread.
The worst thing a protester can do is garble their message or make it incoherent. It needs to be short, actionable, and repeatable. It needs to be something that acts as a response to “get out of the road!”
Making it illegal to block the road is actually a great idea, not only because it gets them out of the fucking way, but also because it removes any incentive to continue being peaceful towards fossil fuel companies. If you’re going to jail anyway, might as well fuck shit up.
