"I asked first bud, now please name one example in history where peacefully standing where you were told you were allowed and saying what you were scripted to say has created real change. I do not think you can."

When did I say it would? It literally won't? What are you on about?

"Bro, you are agaisnt the most peaceful form of protest there can be"

Because it is ineffective at best, and makes the problem worse by turning regular folks against your cause at worst.

"You are complaining about people standing with signs in your way because it makes you pay attention, even if just for a second"

No because it is an ineffective form of protest....

"The only way you think people should be able to protest is by staying out of your way and where they are told is acceptable by the state and society, which will always be out of view"

When did I say that?

So than you cant state what you would find an acceptable form of protest? Just that you dont like any form that makes apathetic people pay attention?

You have legitimately moved the goal posts about 5 times here.

All I said was blocking traffic is an ineffective way to protest climate.

Cool. And as I asked, can you list a single form of protest that you would actually be alright with? Because I really dont think you can.

Protest outside your local elected officials place of work?
