The comments make my soul die a little

You know, I'm all in on the Hasan-sphere, a raging progressive if you will.

But I don't understand how everyone can support these traffic protests. They are truly disruptive and frustrating for the average person.
I think it's disingenuous to claim it's "an excuse to be an hour late for work" because that quickly becomes a truly stressful situation for many. 

I think that the average liberal sees it, agrees with the message but facepalms, and the average conservative becomes filled with rage and learns nothing..

Please help me out on the point here.

OK dude, you go organise the perfect protest that ends climate change.

My point was that it's not just innefective, I believe it to be *counterproductive*.

And I would like to see a form of climate activism that doesn't elicit a similar response.

In my country there is a group that straps themselves in front of coal trains, and the response is identical to the comments about these protestors. Conservatives aren't just mad that they're delayed, they are mad that people who disagree with them are having an impact on the world.

The example you described is much more focused and righteous, imo. Identify a company, damage that company with a message. This is also a case where, say, the conductor of the train would not be to blame, and it becomes the companies issue to solve it.

On the highway, they are sending stray blows to every single person that decided to drive that day.
