    How do we stop evil corporations? With political action. How do we get political action? Either by voting or collective activism.

    There’s no solution that doesn’t require ourselves to spring into action, even if it’s “mostly the fault of a few corporations and their executives”.

      That is true.

      But they are doing activism for the wrong side. The conservatives and far right will jump on this one, because they just gotten handed a talking point on a silver platter. “Radical left activists attack cultural heritage site”. They couldn’t have asked for a more perfect one.

      Voting for whom? They’re all corrupt, or haven’t you noticed? We’re living in a global oligarchy.

      Also, why on Earth do you think environmental activists pissing people off will help with any sort of collective action?

        Ah, a doomer. So let me guess, there’s nothing we can do and every form of activism is useless?

        Just go on with your day then. This protest certainly isn’t about you. They didn’t hurt you personally, so why not just let them do their thing. The people who believe solutions exist can continue to search for them and you don’t have to bother.

        Or do you actually have something helpful in mind?

          I’m not sure why you think I should answer your questions when you won’t do me the courtesy of answering mine. That’s incredibly rude of you.

            Your questions seemed rather rhetorical to me. As long as you act on the premise that there’s no solution, any conversation about the topic - including this one - is a monumental waste of time. So let’s just leave it at that.
