Whether you agree with their approach or not, our future on the planet is very uncertain and these are the kinds of protests that I’ve heard about since my teenage years.
Back then, it was mostly missiles (and apartheid) that people in my native country were protesting against, I remember, and back then… because of the OPEC Oil Crisis, we actually had Sundays with complete DRIVING BANS! Emergency services excepted.
Rollerskating and cycling in the streets was so much fun on those days.

Isn’t it crazy that we insist on ruining our own future on the planet for the sake of making money?
No, I am not planning any protests, no worries. But I often shake my head at the foolhardy stupidity of humankind and am also astonished to have to admit that I didn’t used to see either that the way in which we are living and behaving in the west is pretty crazy.
It’s not just about oil. It’s just about everything.
