    Where do you go to school that the sentence, “Sorry I’m late, protests caused the traffic to come to a stop.” would force you to give up your right to have an education?

      The school didn’t give out detentions for people being late that day because hundreds of students AND teachers were late. The detention wasn’t the consequence, it was the fact that people missed entire lessons, teachers couldn’t set up, it disrupted the entire day for everyone.

      These morons decided that their pettiness exceeded anyone’s desire or need to work or learn. And because of that I refuse to see any reason to be sympathetic to them.

      Why am I, and all the people working hard to educate themselves and others, inconvenieced instead of the gigantic oil companies that will have a greater impact on the planet in 1 year than all of us will in 100. These people should be ashamed of themselves.

        That must be how innocent white people felt when their meals that they paid for were interrupted by black people illegally sitting in their restaurants. The other diners weren’t to blame. Why didn’t the protesters just go after Big Restaurant and leave the law abiding diners to exercise their right to dine in peace?

          That is in no way comparable. These are privileged people who have had zero hardship in life so they feel guilty and join a climate group. Don’t even fucking tell me that this is in any way comparable to racism. Whenever lemmy users come up with an analogy for something it’s always Nazis and racism, just please stop emotionally escalating EVERYTHING and talk like a normal human being.

            I’m not comparing it to racism, you’re taking the wrong point from that. Protests aren’t supposed to make you comfortable. They are meant to disrupt, even if you are just trying to mind your own business. Not every white person in my analogy is racist or against black rights, my point was to show how dumb they would be for voicing annoyance. Climate protestors didn’t ruin your life or even your day, just like sit in protestors didn’t harm anyone else. You are just dramatic and have main character syndrome.

                  Isn’t going against the status quo the opposite of having a small mind?

                  You have any actual arguments instead of just personal insults?
