Yes but who am I talking about? I just know them as idiots blocking traffic; I have no idea what their cause is. If they were environmentalists, that's doubly stupid because they're causing cars to idle and barf more carbon monoxide in the air because of their actions.

If you care about a cause, you should try to convince people not to do that. It's counterproductive on at least 2 levels.

Who are you talking about? Blocking traffic is a rather common tactic that has been used to protest pollical figures, mask mandates, air traffic control policy, the petroleum industry, you name it.

I agree that it's shitty and counterproductive, but it routinely makes the news.
