Thoughts on climate activists gluing themselves to cars on motor show in France?

Question

Honestly I believe these climate activists would make me have smaller outreach. I asked so many questions about them, that I wouldn't be surprised if someone got confused and thought he already answered this question and it's a different one.

These protesters have such a hard on for super glue. All these protests are not accomplishing anything except their goal of getting attention. Like when Just Stop Oil was throwing tomato soup on paintings last week, and then they glued their hands to the wall https://news.sky.com/story/just-stop-oil-protesters-throw-tomato-soup-over-van-goghs-sunflowers-12720183

And then when actor James Cromwell (the farmer in the movie Babe and he’s also in Succession) went to a Starbucks in NYC with his friends from PETA, superglued his hand to the counter, and bitched about the higher cost of vegan “milk”. He’s 82 but it seems he still needs to grow up. https://globalnews.ca/news/8826285/james-cromwell-superglues-hand-starbucks-milk/

It´s their new tactic. It might not work with all people but it could work with some. It´s just the tactic in France it´s also happening in Germany. In my opinion it´s not the best way of protesting but I can understand them when they say that walking through the streets with some banners doesn´t change a thing.

I just think there will always be people that want to change society in a radical way and todays youth in Western Europe is especially fond of environmental ideas and ways to change society.

Many if not most revolutionary movements I know started from lower classes and moved their way upwards in society so it´s logical to me why they don´t confront politicians right away.

Shows how dumb they are. Someone should have started the cars and taken them for a ride.

They are getting attention, but I don't know anyone who is more sympathetic to their caue because of the protests. I do know many people who think these protesters are idiots who should be euthanized.

misfittoy · Answer

sickening hypocrites. the media needs to stop giving them the attention they so crave. heir 15 minutes of fame, because if it was more then that they would present their cause in an actual logical manner. go back and see what they have actually done in the wake of climate issues, and its nothing. they seem to overlook the harmful ingredients in the glue they use. nothing more then fame seeking from their side

Options would be, to drive away with them still attached, could be fun... after giving them notice that would be happening soon.

Since the paint is likely damaged, make them pay for damages before they can get out of jail, hold them forever until they do. Charge them with vandalism too.

Bet a paint job on those cars isn't cheap to fix.

Could also carefully move the cars back into storage with the people attached and just leave them there.

Stupid stunts like this, only get negative attention and lose support. Same problem Black lives matters did when blocking traffic in streets. Perfect way to LOSE support.

Protesting in public and staying on sidewalks is the best way, even if it feels like nothing changes they can get support that way, just like BLM could of. Soon as they start becoming a menace, doesn't matter what the topic is... they lost support for it.

As for the good news glue sales are up & when activists buy glue they are helping the economy & contribute to climate change as well. As for the bad news activists are causing a lot of damage buy guling themselves to shit.

If the joker wants to make a different they should glue themselves to railroad track.

NamerOfStars · Answer

It's starting to feel less like a handful of morons and more like controlled opposition. Regardless of whether that's true, they're not going after the people who make the decisions they object to; they're harassing normal men and women in the street. That's just going to undercut their goals and shove the Overton Window in the OPPOSITE direction they claim to desire.

NathanDavis · Answer

at this point I am wondering...

The FIFA World Cup is coming... and it will happen at Qatar

this is among the BIGGEST stages on the world, literally... billions made in publicity and exposure, so I am wondering what all these activists are going to try down there, lmao

and if, a country like Qatar will let that slide, or just shut it down completely, lol

Well if it one of the cars happened to be mine, and was a classic, someone would be going home minus a hand !!! Unless they had the brains to bring a release agent with them, but they would be receiving a bill for the cost of making good the damage. and if that failed I would be taking a pound of flesh. The authorities are being too soft with these idiots!!

Surely · Answer

I would take their names. So that they would pay for damages. Then at the end of the day. Turn off the lights and go home.
When it came time to wrap up the show. They better be able to keep up when driving the car back to the dealership!

i'll say: if you glue your hand to my car, i'm ripping your hand off and driving off. i don't give a shit. you have to carry the consequences of your actions. and if you're so dumb, you deserve no better.

joeldalton · Answer

Ok, so there has to be something else going on. Because these protests are ridiculous and do nothing to prevent people from using oil. It's almost like they're controlled opposition.

It’s like a three-year old throwing a tantrum in a crowded store because he didn’t get the toy he wanted…. obviously the three-year old has the moral high ground and is superior in his intellect and assessment of the situation.
