    It’s frustrating when people think talking down to others is going to change minds. It’s no wonder progressive activists fail to make progress.

    If you expect people with different perspectives to get behind people like Greta you’ll want to adopt a better strategy. Otherwise, you’ll continue to polarize folks.

      I find it frustrating when people who are wrong, won’t change their minds.

      I don’t expect people who are devoid of reasoning to get behind anyone except themselves. Someone, I’m not invested in at all.

      With that being said, do you think it’s more reasonable to:

      Actually blockaid during a protest and get arrested, preventing future activism?

      Get media to spread an important message about some injustice, potentially gathering support for similar causes?

      Which one would be more effective, and why?
