MODERATORS
Gluing yourself to roads (and damaging pieces of art) is the pinnacle of useless or even counterproductive activism.
You annoy everybody including those who agree with you. With a message that is new to nobody.
You bring no new argument or information to the table that could possibly convince those who don't agree with you.
You are literally sitting around doing nothing.
This is not activism, this is passivism.
It also does not help, when you fly to the maldives on vacation right afterwards or do other similar schizo things.
People in my social circle defending stuff like this will say "it was worth it for the attention it got" and that's that. No further inquiry needed.
Which is insane, people will turn against the cause instead of joining it.
You have to ask yourself what kind of person you are to turn against the "cause" of preventing societal collapse because you got inconvenienced for 10 minutes.
You have to ask yourself how you'll ever convince people to join your cause when you're being a dick to that specific person.
