Update: we SWARMED one of the fanciest restaurants in Jackson Hole, the city hosting the world's preeminent gathering of central bankers. The 60 top banks have lent $5,500,000,000,000 to fossil fuel companies since the Paris Accord. The Federal Reserve can stop this. They must.

I cannot stress this enough: Delivering a message this way only makes people hate you, and your cause.

It doesn’t make me hate them. They’re not violent. Our most powerful institutions have made themselves so inured to traditional forms of protest that such acts of civil disobedience are understandable. This group was not violent in Jackson Hole; the police responding to them were violent. These young people are not criminals; some of the polite diners, however, represent a crime against future generations.

Please understand here... Rainforest and ocean conservation are quite dear to me personally, and it is certainly justifiable that people express outrage. However, for now our electric and cargo grids cannot function without oil. Blocking roads and interrupting rich jerks at dinner will not make this go away, but it will make some people hate the messenger; and that would be tragic.

Banks are obligated to their shareholders, not to protestors. If someone with a fiduciary responsibility to me betrays me to appease tantrums, I have a legitimate complaint to which they ARE obligated to attend.

They could vote for someone like RFK Jr, who would actually do something about it, and spend their energy mobilising a grassroots campaign to ensure it's not stolen by the DNC, but they'll vote for Biden and his ilk again and again despite their being controlled by their targets.

They're entitled adult size toddlers. Whether their blocking traffic or crashing a private party-their antics do not produce anything except contempt for them and their cause.

Ok, ok. It makes everyone but YOU hate them. Narcissist!
You can't win a position or move people to your "side" when all you accomplish is resentment towards your position. Look across the globe. Everywhere this is being done, you're angering citizens. That's not a winning strategy.
