    My better idea is to not do dumb shit that actively turns people (voters) against the cause. Egg some politicians, paint some private jets, people love that shit.

    Besides just saying “AwArEnEsS”, what does JSO actually achieve?

    Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change, what we actually need to do is convince people to take action. JSO actively convinces people to vote against action on climate change.

        The point I’m trying to make is that despite the good stuff they may do, it’s overshadowed by the dumb shit that’s turning people against the cause.

        Those actions didn’t achieve much, and I’d say anything they did achieve has been undone by their other antics.

        Do you know anyone who has been convinced by JSO to take more action against climate change? It’s only people who are already onboard cheering them on.

        I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO, and general consensus among anyone I know is that JSO is doing more harm than good.

      I’m still trying to get my husband’s uncle to get off his easy out of “well I guess it’s happening, but humans didn’t cause it.” He, along with a lot of other people, are in an echo chamber. Obviously plopping pigment on monuments isn’t going to do shit to convince them, but I don’t know what will.
