Been seeing a lot of outrage thrown at them recently their protests and been seeing a lot of people trying to disrupt these protesters for “disrupting” them and that they could cause inconvenience to emergency services but at the same time,I feel as though these actions are necessary sort of to better spread the message since the bourgeois media is going to turn a blind eye to it. So, since I’m not really familiar with the whole thing, I want to see what you think of them.

True, good point. I still don't see their approach become successful because from what I gather it's just "raising awareness", I'd hope by 2023 people are aware of climate change. I really feel for the young activists who are a part of JSO because they are trying to do something to fix the situation and are met with so much hostility from the public. To me it does come across as a way to drain young socially aware people's time/energy away from useful actions and towards actions that won't have any outcome.

The best approach for climate action is through workers & unions organising, eg: https://youtu.be/J5Whs9IsTds
