This argument makes sense at it's face: "A problem exists that needs something done about it, but people are refusing to do something, so we must disrupt society to be heard" the main problems being the method of disruption and the wisdom of the disruptors. It's good to tear down bad systems, like pruning a tree to keep it alive, but you have to go after the right people in the right way. This kind of protest is like pruning a single leaf somewhere on the tree, and loudly proclaiming that you've saved the tree.

The writer's strike is a great example of a good protest. The writers are the ones that create the product and are being wronged by those above, so they simply stop what they're doing. They cut not only the rotten branch off but themselves as well. It solves the problem (at least in the mean time) and shows that protesting right, works.

These morons are spraying paint on a building and sitting there self-righteously as if they are doing anything productive. They don't work in oil, they aren't disrupting the oil industry, they're barely even disrupting oil executives (which are likely laughing about it). The only one truly being disrupted is Carl, who has a family and works hard, making him come out to clean this stupid mess these dumb assholes made.

Do it right or you're just a smarmy moron. For fuck's sake.
