Ever notice how the Just Stop Oil people are only ever disrupting you everyday lower and middle class people? You NEVER see them going after politicans or celebratities or anyone who actually has the power to do something.
Which is ultimately harmful for the cause these idiots claim to support. Ofcourse climate is an important topic. But if I get lumped in with fools like this i´d rather not throw my hat in the ring.
it actually helps the companies because it makes the drivers waste fuel, and then they have to buy more fuel so it's quite literally working against their goal because the oil companies only profit from this
@@dobrenedel7553 it also helps the oil companies when they glue their hands to the road because the roads need repairs. and guess what asphalt uses as an ingredient. OIL ! We literally pave the roads with oil. (well, a part of crude oil).
Activists with flawed or very limited knowledge about what they are even fighting for completely single handedly ruined society. At this point I would not blame people for losing empathy for most activism at this point, It always involved some far left loon, being completely unopposed and protected by the establishment for any terrible act they do. They have nobody but themselves to blame why activism is looked down apon today, ironically they also dislike some activists for more based things, like men for any rights ect. So why do people even put up with them?
@@pabcu2507 Add to this paying for the possible deaths they can cause, I still remember the article where those dummies blocked ambulance that was transporting a patient and unfortunately patient died before he could get to the hospital, and to add more insult to that one of those idiots said that they would let the ambulance get past if this was an electric car or that the ambulance should get a detour, like how braindead those people are?

Another bit of irony is that they claim to be concerned about the environment, yet they block traffic, which causes cars to slow down and take more time to drive and have to burn more fuel than if they didn't block the road at all.
That's the idea Einstein. Cities built for cars are unlivable. American cities look dismal to someone like me who safely walked to school from 1 st grade to graduation.
Man I am so glad I live in a state where you can legally hit these types of people with your car when they block the road it's literally illegal to block the road it's a safety hazard
I firmly believe that the Just stop oil morons - or more likely their puppet masters - WANT violence against them. So that they have the excuse to sue and/or introduce laws to punish normal people even more!
Most people are I’m very much a Tory and no conservative I affiliate with is dumb enough to think the environment is not a serious concern we disagree with liberals on ways to address it and the hyperbolic sense of panic associated with it…it makes me think of Malthusian theory
@@falcongamer58normally what middle class white people do when they have no actual crisis or goals. They preach morality, scream black lives matter as they execute 71 year old African american David Dhorne in the Louis riots.
funny thing is cars in the west have so many regulations so they dont release that much toxic stuff its cars from 3rd world countries and china that lack that that spew out toxic clouds
So fun fact. In the US if you disrupt traffic and a medical emergency happens and you impede in anyway, then you have commited a felony! Don't block traffic for this very reason. It can be dangerous!
And in some States it's completely _legal_ to run people over if they're blocking the road. If it was legal in the UK to do that then these people would learn really fast to get out of the way.
@@kabob0077 there was actually a case of a driver running over an activists foot, so even if it was legal, people are probably still gonna do it anyhow.
@@dragonsman4733 Ah, but if it was legal then more people would do it because they don't have to fear being prosecuted for doing whatever it takes to get where they need to go.
So fun fact. It's not legal for a convicted felon to possess a firearm regardless of what avenue they went through in order to get it. If they even touch a firearm, if they even inquire about getting a firearm, they can go to prison for 10 years. But plenty of times we're seeing charges like these dropped because the felons are black and putting them in prison would be racist.
I once met a guy who suppoerted these morons. According to him, their actions were justified because The Message was more important, and that I and anyone else who lost opinion of them for their actions was in the wrong.
Show him the photos of people that died in car crashes because of these braindead retards who choose to slack instead of doing something productive and tell that he's probably a direct accomplice to this because he supported them, indirectly got blood on his hands for stupid shit like this
Fun fact. Cars burn MORE fuel when they're driving this slowly. Most cars get to peak fuel efficiency around 20-40 burgers per hour depending on the make and model.
Actually, it's more about the RPM the engine runs on with the most fuel efficient being between about 1200-2000 RPM. As long as you keep it in that area you'll burn the least fuel possible and going faster actually burns less fuel per km since the difference in amount of fuel needed at different gears but the same RPM is miniscule, but you get more km burning about the same amount of fuel. The problem is that the cars running at walking pace waste a lot of fuel because without stepping on the gas the car still wants to got 10+ kph, thus requiering the drivers to brake the excess energy away.
@@catto8331 Not American, and I guess whatever country you are from doesn't know what sarcasm is. But even still, imagine thinking acronyms are the same in every language.
Really horrible that they're blocking the way of a family bringing their newborn child on their way to the hospital, prob delaying the medical attention the child needs. If it was a serious emergency and the baby was DOA, the blood is on their hands. They're screwed.
To be fair, there is a burning bush environmentalist keep dancing around and try to avoid addressing; especially when they talk about "getting back to pre-industrialization levels" and that is "does that include world population too?" It really is hard for them to address that without sounding like it's the second coming of the big H. And honestly I wouldn't be surprised some would think it's a good idea just to remove their perceived "undesirables." (Coughanyonethatdisagreeswiththemcough)
@@lisztresurrected9438I’ve absolutely heard stories of people just sitting in the road to protest. Nearly getting hit by cars and being confused when they find this out for some reason.
This kind of thing already happened in the states, several times. And each time, it resulted in a significant amount of roadkill. Never forget Reginald Denny.
No two ways about it. These Just Stop Oil people are actually evil. If you have a grieving mother and her family trying to get through and you don't move, you are evil. If you have a woman with a sick baby who is trying to get to the hospital and you don't move, you are evil. Full stop.
If this keeps going, it could prove catastrophic. What if emergency services need to rush to a burning building or rush a dying patient to the hospital but couldn’t because some privileged bums were complaining about oil, protesting on busy streets instead of the sidewalk.
@@skootergirl22apparently all they need to meet the literal definition is an actual singular leader figure and they would be a perfect example of a cult.
If I remember correctly in the UK was one such case. A man was rushing his father in his own car to the hospital because he had a stroke. Needly to say they didnt make way for him. Later the doctors said had he been treated earlier that day, they might have prevented any severe damages, now its too late.
that already happebned in the UK on the M 6 they blocked ambulances and firetrucks causing multiple people to die... i believe some of them got charged though the moment they set foot (quite litrally) on a M road your suposed to be arrested as its highly illegal due to the dangers
There this one video where they blocked a school bus and a mom was begging them to move so her kids can go to school. One of them "activists" literally said, "Ma'am, think about the dolphins" I cant-
I understand that they don't want more oil pumped out of the ground but they have to realize that the world relies on it for practically everything, everything from glasses, plastics, cars (both electric and petrol powered) all over the world rely on that source to maintain their economy movement, this includes cargo ships as well, so that privelege that they have to protest comes from being able to eat a helthy meal, something that also requires oil to run the machinery to plant and harvest that meal sometimes.
This people is starting from conflict theory applied to environment and think humans oppress the environment: they DGAF about humans nor to solve their problems but is all about clout; SJW environment style like greenpeace
They haven't thought that far ahead, and they never will, because the cause doesn't matter to them. They _know_ that obstructing traffic like this isn't going to change anything, but they also know that it's easy to do and that they will almost definitely suffer no consequences for it, so they do it. It allows them to feed their ego and appear moral to their immediate group (which is likely made of people who do all the same things). Notice that they always do these things in places where they don't live.
@@PhycoKrusk if they don’t wear masks and keep on exposing themselves like this, they may end up getting doxxed. Or even worse they may end up getting killed. I hate for that to happen to them, but you can’t test people’s patience.
@@betsy6458 Maybe, but as things presently stand, the violent psychopaths most likely to act on that information agree with their "message." The real consequences they need to face will be the owner of their local pub seeing them blocking a newborn from getting to the hospital and deciding someone with the kind of disregard for children isn't welcome in their establishment.
im gonna be honest, the ability to run people over that are blocking the road on purpose should be legal, think about it: none of these idiots would be standing on the road if they had to go to the hospital because of it!
" none of these idiots would" Oh es, they would. We are talking about the lowest of the low here, who get paid by rich people and politicians to terrorize the masses. They are not particularly bright. One of them sat down in directly front of a truck who tried to take off and was surprised the driver didnt stop for someone he couldn't see.
It's legal in a lot of places, people just don't do it because they don't want to kill others for such stupid reasons... although if I was a trucker... running late on my delivery and I see these fucks on the middle of the road, I'm gon make that truck optimus fucking prime by the time I pass over them
Doesn't matter if you are trying to stop the taxidermizing of orphan kittens, people aren't going to sympathize or support you if you act like lunatics.
I think that's the point of these "activists". Their leaders were probably paid by oil companies to lure dumbasses to this *cult* _(let's be honest, it's what this thing really is)_ and give genuine activist movements a VERY bad name.
Because cleaning up litter doesn't give them attention, and they couldn't bother to try and do it on a scale like Mr. Beast even though they could probably pull it off with sheer numbers even though they don't have Beast's money. This, of course, ignores the obvious fact that such a massive litter clean-up campaign WOULD give them tons of views, attention, AND positive reinforcement. But it also is only very tangentally related to stopping oil companies. I guess. Idk how they think like that, either.
It would be so much better if they actually went and cleaned up the plastic and trash everywhere incuding in the ocean. They'd actually be liked. But of course they have to be the most insufferable people imaginable while acting like they are in the right.
That clip where these guys climb on a oil truck, unfurling their logo and stuff... and on the side is the driver being interviewed "Yeah but that's cooking oil!" and him and the reporter are both laughing their asses off. It's too hilarious!
9:55 This is genius. Everyone should just crash their meetings and protest them, in their meetings. Like just stand there blocking the entrances with Don't Stop Oil banners. lol
These people could actually put someone in grave danger and are actually helping the people they’re trying to fight against. Gasoline and oil are used a lot even when idle, so they’re just wasting a TON of oil, requiring the oil companies to make more oil because oil demand is skyrocketing. How do they not think their actions through? I know some people are idiotic, but this is beyond idiotic.
stop seeing this as idiocy, this is malice. They are industry plants, at least at the top. They are getting paid to give anti-oil activism a bad, no, a *terrible* name. When activism is rejected by the public because it's activism, you'll never have to worry about the common man potentially killing your profits, no matter how despicable.
They don't think cause these idiots don't drive, else they'd see how the car mileage skyrockets. The more momentum a car has, the less the engine will have to work and as a result, less fuel will need to be used to push the car forward. This basic knowledge of physics is taken for granted by anyone BUT people who actually drive and care about driving efficiently.
I can understand the reason for some activists actions, but if you want people to actually "hear you out", try to protest without infringing on rights, without pissing people off, and also with common sense. And don't just go advocating against something without coming up with possible solutions towards what you're advocating against.
Imagine not having a job or any meaningful obligations, and instead of using your free time to help people, or even just play video games, you decide to stand in traffic all day and piss off strangers.
The greater irony is that by slowing down traffic like this, they are wasting more gas and energy. Even if you have an electric car, its take energy to charge it and not a lot of people realize where that energy comes from.
I remember hearing about a group of vegans shutting down Sydney, Australia around 2016 by sitting in the middle of roads and chaining themselves to cars. The police had to come and arrest them one by one. What where they trying to do? Promote a documentary about the problems in the meat industry.
@@skootergirl22Veganism is basically a mutant form of anorexia with a heavy dose of cultist narcissism. Just like the trans agenda, vegans promote a dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle that degrades it's victims quality of life and damages the fabric of society.
I've seen people in the RU-vid comment section actually defend these protesters. They claimed that the protesters need to interrupt innocent people's days to not only bring awareness, but to harm the wallets of the powerful people who can do something about JSO's demands. It's all so stupid.
Yeah, I've seen someone in a Reddit comments section complaining because they were "confused on how people wanted us to protest". And complaining that if they vandalize or destroy art, the person who cleans it is called a hero. Like dude, there are other ways to spread messages that don't involve being a total dipshit.
They're not being paid off by oil companies, they're being paid by the state. It's why the police does nothing to stop them but you bet if one person went out to push them off, they'd get jail time.
That's why you don't "push" them. Ever been part of a concert mosh pit? The motorists need to get off their cars and join them, except with soooo much more enthusiasm. Keep chanting "just stop oil" while jumping and bumping and falling and accidentally elbowing and kicking and stepping. Just apologize, help them back up and encourage them to be more passionate for the cause. They can't charge you for assault if you are all on the same team. What's some bruises and some loose tooth among protest buddies. lol
@@kumbawolf Have you ever been to the real world? They know who is on their payroll. You go to prison for assault, they go do their next terror attack.
I have found that if I just keep driving, they get out of the way pretty damn quick. If they don’t, well… they are of course free to not do so and face the consequences of a very painful physics lesson.
sadly "the last clear chance" applies here stating if you were the last person that had a chance to stop an accident from occuring and you didnt then youre liable for their injuries,could even be considered attempted murder at times
@@awesomeduuu6979 What accident? A violent mob blocking traffic (including ambulances, fire dept. and police vehicles) and assaulting people and vandalizing said vehicles? These incidents have happened in my state, and our law has been pretty consistent on siding the drivers who were harassed and assaulted. It’s self defense. (We’re not Britain, New York, or California). We don’t reward criminals who get hurt while committing crimes by ignoring the crime that led to their injury. I’m familiar with the principle you mentioned in law, but they are the ones with the “last clear chance” to avoid injury. If we plowed through carelessly that’s one thing. But stopping and warning them, then attempting to drive around only for these feckwits to move and block traffic again is well more than I’m obligated to do before I just move right on.
That did happen in 2020 during the protests and rallies. many times. America do not give a rats. UK they made it where the NPCs are protected. It is sad we've come to this.
They should just mandate a law already that allows them to run over just stop oil activists, they are literally a public nuisance if they can make a law about not allowing to bring a fresh halibut near the parliament there should also be laws for circumstances like these that are equally as bizarre
I disagree with causing violence as that solves absolutely nothing. Though I do feel as though causing a nuisance to the public doesn't really help anything. They should be protesting at the places involved with what they're trying to protest. The layman will never be on the side of those that prevent oneself from feeding one's family.
What? You mean let the people resolve problems themselves rather than letting government do it? What next, letting the people use force to defend themselves against home invaders?
@@skootergirl22 pushing them aside with the car by driving through them would I guess be gentle enough, for sure seeing the situation the people in the video were in
they won't because the british gov condones their actions. In case you havnt caught on, britain, like the rest of the west, exists in a state of anarcho tyranny
They even try blocking Ambulance They not even care if there patients really needed go hospital really fast They're should get arrested for trying holding emergency vehicles to doing their job to save the patients
Hoping this doesn't spread to the US. I am half convinced some of my family would road rage in these scenarios, and the results of that could be very bad. As would my mental state if I lost someone I loved over some dumbasses who want to pull this kinda garbage.
The amount of people who would get shot or beat would be off the charts. We got people here in SF getting randomly attacked just going about their day, imagine actually pissing off those people.
There was once an incident in the us that backfired horibly wrong where a bunch of these protesters tried to block a highway full of shipping trucks.... there was a lot of blood that day
Bruhh if I was that mother I would said do it like damn my patience is low at that point idc if I go to jail. And the sad part cops aren’t doing anything they need to be arrested
@@thematiasmadness7010 It's illegal to run people over UNLESS you are doing so to escape danger caused by the protesters themselves. Since the protesters are currently non-hostile, driving through them is currently not legal.
The first example with the missed flight isn't justification for the police to intervene, I believe, as it's not a medical emergency. So long as the protesters are non-hostile, like @supergamer1388 says, you would be arrested for assault with a vehicle and the police would move to protect them (even if they potentially hate them just as much). The second might've been, but there's also the fact she's in her own vehicle and not an ambulance with the lights/sirens. That I'm not sure of off the top of my head, but it's possible they wouldn't be able to do anything without some kind of proof of an emergency (which you would think that a possibly-dying baby would be, but I kinda mean something like a doctor's note or something.). Still absolutely sucks they can't/won't break it up, but those are probably why.
There should be a law about "If people are actively blocking the road (not construction workers and such, only idiots like these), the driver is legally allowed to run them over"
This reminds me of the vegan stuff of everyone trying to make me drink almond milk, and then they realized almond milk was causing colony collapses in bees and just quietly stopped asking people to be vegan lmao
It isn't, though. The bees used to pollinate crops like almonds are generally loaned by honey operations. The domestic honeybee outcompetes local pollinators, which reduces biodiversity. The fault of the death of wild bees (and, in fact, domestic bees) is the honey industry's. If you're going to make an assertion about a group "realizing" some sort of error, you should stop relying on Piers Morgan level anecdote, and learn to read scientific literature.
When the actions of a protest endanger those not involved, it's not a protest anymore. I'm telling you, one of these days they are going to block the road for someone in a do or die situation, like someone in critical condition needing to get to a hospital. At that point, the person transporting the injured/deathly ill will ultimately choose their loved one over these sacks.
@@DakkaNah2619 Poor wording on my part. I was moreso trying to point out that someone will mow them down in an act of desperation one day if they continue this recklessness.
@@scottwendt9575 Precisely why I'm surprised that they haven't been brutally assaulted by now, at least not that I've heard of. I've heard of them being dragged off the road but that's about it.
That video of the mom trying to get her baby to the hospital makes me absolutely livid. How disgusting of a person do you have to be to just silently hold your position while I mother screams at you that her baby needs help? Waste of oxygen, all of them.
People only care about kids when they're just a fetus. That's the real problem with prolife; they care more about the possibility of a child rather than the ruined lives of the mother and/or baby. Majority of unwanted babies are abused and a lot of unwanted mothers are victims or children themselves due to r@pe. Pro life was just plucked away by the Rich privileged bastards that has no understanding of anything other than privileged
A few counter-activists went into one of their gatherings inside of what looked like a cathedral and released some balloons with anti-struggle-snuggle alarms attached to them. Funny stuff.
Correct me if I am wrong. I remember there was an interview ask them. Interview: Do you know that your action is the cause of people who needed emergency attention being delay? And their answer: I don't believe it is the case. I could have sworn that someone had brought up the topic and they denying to acknowledge the issue.
Religion as a concept is never far gone from needing to be filled in the Human psyche. Whether it be about gender, actual religion, environment, race, etc there are people who are ready to be soldiers for a cause
That's why replacing mild religion with quasicult like political activists and atheistic relative morality is insane. They all thought it would be an utopia without religion - just "Le science and advancment" - what we got was no objective morality and everyone pushing their ideas trough force.
My number 1 go to for "environment activists", to determine if they're fake or not, is to ask them of their opinion on nuclear energy and hydroelectric energy. If they say yes then they are probably serious, if they say no or are iffy on the response then they have not done an ounce of research or study and Know nothing of environmental protection, they only know what their social quasi science influencers on tiktoc are telling them.
9:27 Another one that made me respect them was when they staged a counter-protest against their road blocks, surrounding them all so Just Stop Oil couldn't go onto the streets and obstruct traffic. Watch the full video then you'll get what I mean.
The worst part is we don't even see how much they actually affect. I once tracked back a major traffic jam that made me go late to a vet (hospital) appointment for my bird. Even that traffic jam was a ripple effect from those glue sniffing c*nts.
@skootergirl22 Your state requires you to have a license for your bullet spewer? Thats more than several states. Just need to have the serialization marked and registered here.
On one hand, there's been people using violence and stuff to deal with these Just Oil activists and that's still something someone shouldn't do. On the other, the police aren't doing crap, and these "activists" are causing way more harm than good so.... they gotta go.
Just Stop Oil: *Destroys priceless oil painting, stops all forms of traffic including ones to the hospital to "stop" oil companies* PETA: Compared to you, I'm like a saint...
These kind of protests cost lives! Berkeley, CA… 7 Dec 2014 man collapses and later dies while waiting over 27 minutes for an ambulance (confirmed report officials) New Delhi, India… 7 year old dies in ambulance stuck in traffic because of protest (confirmed by ambulance service report) Lima, Peru… 22 Dec 2022 child dies in route because of protest delay(investigation being conducted by the Children’s Hospital) Tampa, FL… 10 July 2020 Police admonished protesters for blocking fire trucks (Reported in the Tampa Bay Times) I haven’t confirmed fault in the Berlin case of the cyclists death or the circumstances in Vancouver, BC or the Dartford Bridge incident, but make no mistake, these people ARE dangerous and they DO NOT CARE if they end up killing someone in the name of their delusional cause. These are the same terrorists who spike trees in order to kill lumberjacks, set cars on fire which routinely burn surrounding apartment buildings and have ties all the way back to the anti-war bombings that killed Physics students and janitors on several college campuses back in the 60s and 70s… This is a 100 year war of disruption against western societies with the goal of taking away individual power and freedom and destroying the independent middle and working class.
When you start disrupting people's lives and do things like stop babies from getting to the hospital your organization crosses the line into becoming evil.
I view these types of protests as "pure bliss". Nothing makes me happier than seeing dayshifters have a really shoddy day because a road had people on it. Don't really care about the cause tho.
What I don't understand is if it was know that these terrorists were gathering in one place why were they allowed to escape? When people see them blocking the road, why are they not immediately beaten with whatever is handy? Why treat them like people if they aren't going to act like people?
