I have never seen the point of commuter disrupting protests, ever since they were taking place in the days of Joh Bjelke Petersen. I mean, people have to get to work, come home, go to hospital, do other good and normal things that make the world run, and there is a high chance that a significant percent of them stuck in their cars already agree with the protesters in principle.
So what is the freaking point of disrupting those who agree with you, and setting those who don't agree more vigorously against you?
This post brought to you in light of news of more "Extinction Rebellion" traffic disrupting protests in Brisbane this morning.
Their cause is not silly in the broad sense (against the Adani mine and pro climate change action), but their tactics are just stupid.
