There’s no proof

Then shut it until you can show evidence.

All I'm really trying to say is their methods make the environmental movements look bad. I hate that. I want things to get better. I don't think they're doing anything to help that. Go after something relevant.

MLK's protests made the civil rights movement look bad. People fucking hated him at the time, despite how history has whitewashed him.

Every effective protest pisses reactionaries and "moderates" off. If it doesn't piss them off, it isn't effective.

Sure but you can hardly compare this to any of MLK's protests. As far as I'm aware, he never harmed pieces of ancient history. He got to the root of the problem and did things like sit-ins in white only restaurants. It's two different kinds of pissing people off.
