    Disruptive for whom? Normal people with the same power as the protesters to change something? People who simply need to go to work to make ends meet?

    Yeah, not the best tactic. It is however a great way to piss people off who otherwise would have supported the cause.

    Saying anything different about the prospect of blocking a major highway is just downright naive.

      Then join them. Disrupt the elites that created this problem and is sentencing them to 5 years. Or you can vote for people that will hold the elites accountable. Instead you are mad at people trying to help save your house.
