If that was true the farmer protests which are using a tone much rougher than any of the environmental ones would be treated even worse but they are not.
Farmers already have people on their side and their trying to create more pressure on politics so their political representatives can achieve better deals for them. That's rather different situation from where we still need to convince large portions of population that we should have acted like 50 years ago, but now would also be not bad.
I don't really understand how people could argue that it's not important how you package your message.
I think most people are done packaging the message because many ways of packaging this message have been tried and been ignored.
Sure, but being frustrated does not change the nature of humans. You need to have/gain power or you need to change peoples minds if you want to change something.
I guess, but you have to acknowledge that the protesters are also just humans. And what happens when humans get frustrated without the believable prospect of change through civil means?
I absolutely do. The problem is - it's up to us to make any change happen, since the powers that be seem to be rather content with the whole situation.
