Anything other than writing strongly worded emails is going to cause some form of economic damage, even just peaceful protesting with signs.

It's about being heard and forcing the governments to ignore the billions in oil bribes they have already received. You can't do that by sitting at home and making angry faces.

At what point did I give a shit about economic damage? Throw bricks, occupy refineries, do what you want. Just don't dump an inordinate amount of toxic material into our environment just to try prove a point about protecting the environment.

"You can't do that by sitting at home and making angry faces." Agree 100%, never said we could, glad we're on the same side here.
