Environmental groups have peacefully protested for decades and governments and the wider general public have largely buried their heads in the sand or pushed the guilt onto consumers instead of corporations. I don't think what they did was necessarily right, but I can understand people feeling the need to take extreme measures like the Suffragettes, the US Civil Rights movement and the Stonewall Riots. If Just Stop Oil had just protested peacefully outside the grounds, no one would be talking about it. One of them is the right to protest, pushing forward with bills to make it possible for police to arrest protestors for being too loud: The invasion of Iraq still happened and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed as a result.įurther to this, the Tories are trying to take away many human rights in the UK atm. A large demonstration, also attended by perhaps around a million, took place in Madrid. Perhaps the largest demonstration this day occurred in London, with up to one million protestors gathering in Hyde Park speakers included the Reverend Jesse Jackson, London mayor Ken Livingstone, and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy. Listed by the 2004 Guinness Book of Records as the largest protest in human history, protests occurred among others in the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Republic of Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Syria, India, Russia, South Korea, Japan, and even McMurdo Station in Antarctica. On February 15, millions of people protested, in approximately 800 cities around the world. That was proven when the biggest protests on record happened against the invasion of Iraq:Įurope saw the biggest mobilisation of protesters, including a rally of three million people in Rome, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest ever anti-war rally.Īccording to the French academic Dominique Reynié, between January 3 and April 12, 2003, 36 million people across the globe took part in almost 3,000 protests against the Iraq war. Peaceful protests don't work with the British government and most governments as a whole. There's big climate protests all the time, but the media deliberately ignores them. The ones you mentioned are things that were extremely under the radar and simply had to be spoken out about in a way that would capture attention. That's why this protest isn't going to be celebrated. ![]() We know oil is bad, we know we need to change our usage, but it can't just.happen. It's not some new way of thinking or something that just no one talks about publicly. I'm all for stopping the use of oil and fossil fuels in general, but I also recognize it can't happen overnight and 5 people on an F1 track aren't gonna make world leaders go "oh shit maybe we can just flip the switch" because we can't, and because it's something that's already protested globally. I can't comment on how that works for the rest of the world but I'm in one of the more renewable states in the US. In my city it's about 25-50% more for renewable and it's only a percentage of my power, not all of it. ![]() They likely have poly fiber clothing in their closets, and no matter how your house is heated, it's coming from fossil fuels unless you're fully off the grid or paying a shitload of money for specifically renewable. They often use super glue to attach themselves to roads or paintings in a museum (which is an acrylic resin, which is made from petroleum). But this is just a bunch of people that don't understand the intracacies of how global energy is currently operating.Īlso as a side note, these people likely used cars or public transport to get to the track, which even if electric, that power is 80% fossil fuels. If it was something no one else was protesting, yeah, maybe. And if you add in the other fossil fuels it's about 80%. It's not like we can just suddenly stop using the resource that gives around 30% of the world's power. Every reasonable person on this planet understands what oil is doing and we're already beginning our push to nuclear and renewable energies, electric and hydrogen cars and planes, etc. ![]() Those 5 people aren't gonna go down in history as some crazy commendable act because it's not like it's something we're not trying to do. ![]() Looking for the Daily Discussion thread ?
