I am completely sympathetic to drawing attention to the immediate threat of climate change, but the protestors are amazingly inept at gendering anything but disdain. Destroying art, this incident, etc.

Three weeks ago, before a half inch of rain made national news, a climate group decided to shut off the single road to Burning Man.

95 percent of the people inconvenienced didn't have a clue what the fuck was going on, so the message never made it to them. But that road is also the single road on and off the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation, whose members were already dealing with the headache of 70,000 partiers coming and going next door. The tribal rangers had zero hesitation in just ramming the blockade with their pickup.

Like I said, I'm completely sympathetic to the need to address the issue they're trying to address, but their methods are so utterly and completely ludicrous, it makes me want to buy a F350 and roll them with diesel smoke.

Have they destroyed any art? Hasn't it all been behind glass or otherwise protected?

Here's the running tally from 2022. It looks like all of it has been behind glass.

I had thought they were trying to be provocative and annoying, but not destructive.

The spokesperson for Just Stop Oil was on Pod Save the UK and did not seem like a crazy person.
