It doesn’t help the message

Really? Because I'm seeing it being talked about a lot.

Debating the method of the performance is not the same as compelling people to learn about climate change and join protests. If anything, it has the opposite effect. It’s only compelling to those already in the fold, and therefore counterproductive to the cause.

It's also leading to discussions between those complaining about and those "already in the fold", facilitating the spread of information.

It is though. We're talking about it now, but responding your disproving your own theory.

Everyone having this particular exact discussion is already convinced, though.

Conversations on a public platform aren’t just for those who speak; they’re also for those who listen. Many people are simply reading these exchanges without engaging in them. I think this discourse is most valuable for them, far more valuable than for someone whose opinion is so ingrained that they’re the one arguing about it.

Probably not or there wouldn't be discussion.
