They clearly are. Otherwise you wouldn’t be talking about them

I don’t think they heard me
Whether they can hear you or not is irrelevant. They have your attention. They have you talking about them.
You should ignore them if they annoy you so much.

I think you are going to deep with your replies,I just made a post on a forum which doesn’t affect anyone’s life. I couldn’t give a fuck what they do just pointing out some hypocrisy.
What’s the point of making a post, you want people to engage with it or ignore it.
It’s not really wise to make assumptions on what peoples feeling’s are especially in the written form, that’s why there are so many keyboard warriors on the Internet because they couldn’t string two words together in a conversation, btw I’m not applying this to you.
So please don’t second guess what I say, because I’ll never betray my true feelings here, I live in a bubble and mostly ignore everything around me.
Apologies for rambling on ,it’s the Kerry blood.

I wonder how much damage this has caused.
Who should we put in jail for this?
The climate?
They have specifically targeted oil companies in the past, but the fact that you aren’t aware of that is why they’re doing this art gallery shit instead now. Some randomers chaining themselves to the gates of a Shell refinery in the middle of nowhere doesn’t make international news.

Shame, Asheville’s a nice town. Hippy mountain vibe.
I do wonder, in decades to come, how groups like this will be viewed by history.

Was it Campbell’s Soup?
I’m all for a Warhol/Van Gogh/Pollock mashup. What’s not to like?

I’d rather they didn’t do stuff like that. Throwing perfectly good soup on a painting. Glass or not, it’s inconvenient! I’m such a big lover of art too. Also disturbing because I do not want to change anything how I live 
I don’t want to know and don’t care how I leave this world to my kids and grandchildren. I pay taxes and want to live my life fully. I’d rather they didn’t do anything and pretend everything is fine and dandy.

The same people complaining about JSO would be the same ones complaining about the Suffragettes back in the 1900’s.
Show me proof to back that statement up please
I wonder the same.
Most changes are gradual and cultural.
Woman’s rights, Trans rights, Gay Marriages etc have all had personalities who led the charge when it was not accepted.
But I often feel like they get too much credit for something that happened due to change in cultural landscape & increased diversity.
What proof would you require? Because time travel hasn’t been invented yet
This is what you said, if you actually mean what you said stop talking bollocks or get a move on and invent a time travel machine.
Or you could read a history book instead.

And I stand by it.
Alternatively, you could explain your objection, since you seem to strongly disagree with him.
I think there are definite parallels between JSO and the WSPU (suffragettes). Both are / were very negatively perceived in their time for good reason because they targeted people who weren’t their enemies. (I particularly enjoy the WSPU dumping acid on golf courses) . Both use prison sentences as political statements. Both use high visibility publicity stunts designed to cause maximum disruption.
I think one reason why people might not like the comparison (not trying to speak for @Jesseviolin here) is that the WSPU are remembered with more sympathy now because very few people would disagree with their end goal of female suffrage. The death of Emily Davison also romanticised their group at the time and in history.
But there are grounds to argue (I wouldn’t, personally) that they hurt the women’s suffrage cause more than they helped it in the same way you could say the same of JSO and environmental campaigning. They caused people who might have otherwise gone the other way to dig in against them and how much the WSPU really had to do with the 1918 Representation of the People Act being passed is really open to interpretation.

It’s already been said, we’ve said our pieces
A well thought out and fair assessment? On OA!?
