Couldn't they heroically throw Molotovs into Adani property?
That's what he has to say.
I think Adani is a bunch of ass-holes, but I don't agree with his violent methods.

Okay, except this thread isn't about killing innocent workers who don't make decisions on behalf of the company, it's about people gluing themselves to the street as form of protest against AdaniAureumterra wrote:If I need to get to work on time, a crazy lunatic gluing himself to the street screaming about a coal mine as if it’s going to change things is inconvenient and annoying
Which is exactly my point about deterring their supporters. Not just work. I'm sure you'd feel the same if you were late for school, a flight, doctor's appointment, etc.

He's a drunk, I know.
But can't they just protest elsewhere? Like an Adani place maybe?

That's not really surprising given that they want to be heard. That's what protestors are looking for, right? Drawing attention towards an issue?
Unfortunately it is inconveniencing commuters.

Supergluing ones self to the road is utterly stupid and selfish. And yes, I am well aware that helping the environment is a very non-selfish endeavour, and it changes nothing. Supergluing one's self to the road is a stupid and selfish act. How is it that such a large group is incapable of thinking of better methods of protesting that actively going out of their way to be public nuisances? And even if they can't, do they honestly think that being a public nuisance is going to win them any supporters? This is the bad kind of attention seeking, and it's really not gonna help their cause. F**k me dead. If anything, it will lose you any fence sitters or your even the weaker members of your supporter base.

A protest is useless if it's not disruptive.Loben The 2nd wrote:So what is the deal with the coal mine?
It's a coal mine. It burns a finite resource of energy, which unleashes carcinogenic, toxic and radioactive materials that can poison the environment, either temporarily or semi-permanently. Moreover, Australia's government is a loyal puppy to the coal industry and it's only natural that people don't like that. Keep in mind that Australia is going to be devastated by climate change in the following decades. It may be somewhat uninhabitable by the end of the century.

It’s worse than useless if it ends up turning people against your cause, though.

That's a good point but we already know of the alternative. In some un-democratic nations, protests are allowed but you have to a) Get a license and b) Protest in a designated area. So that your protest can be ignored by pretty much everyone. I'd rather have trouble going to my job and knowing that people can protest freely than living in a nation where laws make protesting a joke.
