CMV: climate protesters do more harm than good by blocking traffic

I would understand if they were bringing attention to a heinous issue that few people actually know about but literally every knows about climate change.

I really do not understand the thinking behind the numerous Extinction Rebellion protests around the world that involve blocking traffic and shutting down busy city streets. It seems like overall it would turn people against them and create resentment and disdain for all environmental protests. How does making people late for work help the climate?

100 companies cause 70% of emissions. The problem is caused by a very small handful of powerful people. Shouldn’t XR be pressuring people who actually have the power to change things rather than fucking with random people?

Those 100 companies are fossil fuel companies. If you got rid of those 100 companies and we all didn’t stop using fossil fuels, 100 more companies will pop up in their place.

If you buy *anything* instead of making it yourself, put fuel in your car or use electricity from the power grid - then you’re a customer of these 100 companies.
