    Corporations are acting within the law, admittedly that law might not be fit for purpose but it is still the law. The disruption is unlawful and a different category of thing, you can not allow some unlawful acts and frown on others.

      Laws are man-made. Intentionally created to benefit the wealthy regardless of consequences. Facts about climate change have been around for decades but the laws haven’t changed. The only way to make change is to be disruptive otherwise the only other option is removing the blight from the planet which most people don’t want to participate in. I’d much rather people make the right choices than force me to protest or kill people who refuse to change in the face of facts.

      Might doesn’t make right, no, but what exactly do you think rule of law is when it doesn’t represent the will or the welfare of the people? The people you’re complaining about carried signs and disrupted traffic. The people who stopped them were armed and had the force of the law behind their actions.
