Much of the outrage is manufactured or astroturfed. For example, I wouldn't call myself a tweeter, but I did create an account recently just to observe (morbid curiosity, if anything). So I follow a few JSO people. I never see their tweets directly. Instead, what Twitter shows me are the outrage videos about just stop oil. So the Twitter algorithm prioritises the negative responses over the organisation itself, even when one follows the organisation, but none of the people responding. Twitter is amplifying the negative voices. The mainstream press does exactly the same. Then the press uses Twitter as evidence that 'everyone' thinks JSO are wrong. In turn, Twitter platforms the press as evidence. There's a powerful feedback loop that cuts out the supportive voices.

Do I support them? They seem to be quite harmless but they are keeping climate change in the news cycle (even if it's bad coverage). They won't achieve anything more than that, unfortunately. It's equivalent to asking politely.

For the people who are genuinely outraged, LMFAO. This is nothing. Assuming that 99.9%+ of the people are from the imperial core, if they think JSO is disruptive, there's a rude awakening coming.

Just wait till we're five years down the line and: the roads are washed away or flooded; everything's on fire; the tarmac is too hot to drive on; surprise snowstorms close highways all year round; millions of people living in coastal homes flock 'inland'; floods drive millions of people out of homes that property developers built on floodplains; billions of people are displaced and move to the north, where things will be 'safer'; jobs disappear because global supply chains start to disintegrate; jobs disappear because workplaces are unbearably hot or unable to operate under water.

This is just a tiny selection of the shit that's coming this way – in a part of the world where, we know now, people think wearing a mask or standing a little bit away is far-too-high-a-price to pay for other people's health and safety. Those snowflakes getting upset at these milquetoast protesters – it's going to get tedious hearing them complain, 'Why didn't anyone warn us; I've lost everything' while their insurance company puts them up in a hotel.
