Nicely cherry-picked.

69% of experts thought that disruptive tactics were effective for issues (like climate change) that have high public awareness and support. For issues with high awareness but low support (like anti-vaccination), only 30% thought disruptive tactics were effective.

Lucky JSO are about the former, not the latter.

Evidence suggests that disruptive protests actually help, rather than hinder organisations like JSO:

It’s all about raising awareness and facilitating discussions.

Meanwhile petrol companies are doing everything they can to smother protests: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/26/anti-protest-laws-fossil-fuel-lobby

Consider who gains the most from perpetuating the idea that JSO are the bad guys…
