They may label themselves as environmentalists etc - because they have to label themselves as something if they don't want to just be considered vandals - but I think the answer that's most likely is some type of personality disorder.
- stagas 3y agoIs it in the news? Mission accomplished.
- kevincrane 3y agoKinda feels like the underpants gnomes thing then 1. Get in the news 2. ??? 3. Environment is saved!
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoSure and a few years back some Dutchie protesters got in the news because they were gluing themselves to things. It was hilarious and I have 0 genuine recollection of what they were trying to accomplish, because most of this is ineffective flash-in-the-pan stuff.

- oulipo 3y agonot really actually, it works and it's called the "radical flank" theory

Allegedly, they did this to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, not (as seems more likely to me and others) to act like a bunch of poorly-socialized three-year-olds throwing a tantrum. How many fewer barrels of oil would you estimate will be burned over the course of the coming year as a direct result of this "protest"? Say, to the nearest million. Be sure to show your work. Any? No? Then it didn't actually "work", did it?
