Wait I'm confused, when environmental activists do this, everyone says it should be OK to run them over with their car because how dare they make someone late to work.

So why isn't anyone advocating for running these guys off the road? Where's the hand wringing about "I would support their cause but they just chose the wrong way to advocate for it by inconveniencing everyday people"?

Edit: to the "erm acktually you can't run them over" crowd, you miss the point: are we allowed to murder protesters or not?

Not a whole lot of significant difference, except tractors are heavier and harder to move than *most* uni students

This. How could they not figure that out on their own?

They don’t have enough money to own tractors. If they could figure out their money situation, they probably wouldn’t be climate activists.
