You don't win by having the best arguments, nor "yelling and screaming." You win through organizing: building power. If you have enough people willing to go to the mat on an issue, you can shut. shit. down.

How does shutting shot down solve climate issues? This isn’t the Vietnam war. No one is hiding the solution or stopping it, it doesn’t exist.

If you have no plan and no hope, why do you want to do anything about climate change? Or maybe you don’t? I can’t tell.

I support people who aren’t annoying obnoxious morons and are actually DOING positive things, as opposed to being annoying and self righteous. I like to live in reality and not terrorist hippy hypocrisy land.

How about you actually get educated on what you so passionately believe in and present it in a way where people won’t think you’re a stupid asshole? Crazy logic right?

So when people ask you questions you don’t have to rely on hyperbole, rhetoric, and nonsensical solutions to defend yourself.

Who do you think looks at your groups and says we should listen to these people? Who? Why would they?

Answer that, why should people care what you have to say? Because you are yelling?

Steve Irwin, huge activist, everyone loved the dude, did massive good, changed the game on animal conservation. Wasn’t an annoying obnoxious chanting idiot. Passionate and educated. Be like him.
