    Gaining momentum within the movement, keep public attention high, pressure politicians to public statements, legitimise other forms of protests, encourage public debate, inspire involvement of people who generally support them, to name a few.

    On the other hand there isn’t a single form of protest that wouldn’t be either ignored or used as an excuse for inactivity by the people you claim to want to reach. Or could you name even a single example that would make them actually do something?

      keep public attention high

      There it is. You want attention no matter if it’s positive or not. Which type of support do you expect to gather by vandalising monuments? Encourage public debate by vandalising monuments?

      Normal protests, even if “angrier” would be better than this. Earn peoples’ trust and respect

        Public attention to the matter of climate change. Sorry that I didn’t spell it out for you.

        Care to answer my question though? Because if you have not a single idea what form of protest could actually sway the people you claim to want to reach, we can just as well continue with the cornstarch.

          Yes I got that but my point still stands

          You should read my last paragraph slower then.
