People were talking about climate change though. Movements like FFF (until Covid took the wind right out of their sails) had quite a bit of momentum, and actually were making it a mainstream topic.

Protests like this are getting people to talk about what you did, not about why you did it.

Successful in pissing off the general public and causing them to ignore anything of substance that you have to say, sure. Pushing people away from your cause is not a good strategy if you want to effect change.

The constant need for growth won't go away. As long as the population grows, economic output needs to grow. All those people need food, shelter, clothing, entertainment, random crap, work, etc.

Yes, in the Western World a lot of it is a distribution problem, but even if we solved that you still can't expect the rest of the world to just settle for lower standards of living than Europe and North America. They won't. And they shouldn't.

You do realise that an asteroid colliding with Earth is a real risk that could kill billions and potentially end all human life?

If the person behind the hostage is a serial killer who is certain to keep killing, yes. We're talking about an organisation which has broken every ceasefire Israel has ever made with it.

And it would be zero had Hamas not started the war by raping, abducting and murdering random Israelis, including children. Also, this war would end today if Hamas surrendered. I'm not blaming the IDF for striking at Hamas, I'm blaming Hamas for starting this war. I'm blaming Hamas for hiding in Gaza's civilian population. I'm blaming Hamas for every single death in this pointless war.

No. Which is why I don't support Hamas or anything that helps them.

I'm not, I simply disagree with you.

But if you are unable to understand that, bye, blocked ya, since that's apparently what you want. Hope you can sleep with the knowledge that you're supporting a group that proudly parades stripped, raped and broken women through the streets.

Charming. And no, Isreal cannot simply allow in supplies because it would also be suppling Hamas, and it would potentially open a route for the smuggling of actual military supplies.

How do you propose the logistics of providing supplies to Hamas-controlled areas should work?
