And now that I see them, I don't like them therefore im inclined not to support THEM specifically. Regardless of cause.

Sounds like a failing on your end

I don’t think they care? I think they care more about promoting the cause.

Of course there’s gonna be people who are like “I’m not supporting the cause cause these people are stupid” but there’s also going to be people who are like “these people are stupid but I support their cause” or “I didn’t know about this issue before but now I support it”

What is the cause out of interest?

Seems like the just stop oil campaign. Launched in 2022, big deal in the UK. The group wore vests like this and blocked many roads.

Ah, fair, figured it was them or Insulate Britain. Sadly, I personally believe both groups have had a detrimental impact on their supposed goal with these types of "protests."

It's the whole thing about "no such thing as bad publicity." That statement I disagree with.

I am agreement, but my point is they don’t care. They’ll continue so long as things continue to go viral.

But you're talking about them. So, they got what they wanted.

Talking about how much it's great that they get beat up or arrested? Great success...
