There's some truth to what you say. Some climate activists are simply disruptive and ineffective and annoying. And ordinary people like electricians aren't responsible for the crisis.
But, of course, those particular kind of activists are not all of the activist groups. Nor are they representative of all climate activists.
Furthermore, even the best activists—like Gandhi and King—held actions that you and others who object to, say, "Just Stop Oil"—would today oppose because they were disruptive and annoying to ordinary people.
I get it.
What you may not get—in part because we have a whole planet full of failed "leaders" who want us to act as if everything is okay—is that this is a crisis.
So, you could denounce the opponents of the war in Vietnam as dirty hippies who should get a job. And, in so doing, help the nice men in suits kill 58,000 young Americans fighting halfway across the world—for nothing. You can denounce concerned people who (useless) pour soup (harmlessly) on the protective glass over great works of art—and help distract from the fact that leaders everywhere are willfully accelerated the doom of your children.
But, if you care about your children, about life, about living on a planet where human beings and animals and Nature as we know Her have a future, you will JOIN with climate activists who are using a strategy that you believe is better than the activists you oppose.
I believe that activism as practiced by Gandhi and King and Cesar Chavez and many, many others who SUCCEEDED in changing the world for the better is a good and necessary thing. Even if, on some occasions, they block the Edmund Petttus Bridge on the way to Selma.
Letting a few ultra-wealthy fools destroy our beautiful Earth or even defending them is insane. WE are not.
