Climate Activists at US Open

Protests are what makes our country great. Nothing wrong with that.

With regards to glue, that is a good question. Apparently, the glue of choice is super glue. Super glue is not petroleum based. It is made with cyanoacrylate, which is a type of acrylic resin. But, even super glue manufacturing requires some type of petroleum to run the machinery. So, it’s sort of a funny self-own in some ways.

How Gluing Oneself to Something (and Ungluing) Actually Works

 

I dont know anything about the glue they used, but it was already made, the environmental impact has already happened man, and I dont think it affects demand for glue one way or the other lol. Seems you are focusing on the wrong thing, as usual. We are beyond the stage where individual consumption has effect on the environment, and the action these protestors want is on a collective & global scale.

 

Whatever you do individually has no impact on anything when the problem is global capitalism, you alone cant burn enough or conserve enough to impact anything. These people know that more than anyone, focusing on the glue is just a red herring.

 

Sounds like the most exciting thing to happen in a tennis match in years......



Okay bye.

 

I'm surprised that Trump didn't think about glue as a treatment for Covid. "It could help hold your immune system together."

 

Was he glued to the court? If not, should have just left him there. Personally I think these idiots should be left in place until they have to rip their own flesh off to get undone. That would be commitment to their cause.

 

so if someone uses glue they hate the environment? But what about Covid? Not sure I’m following this thread.

 

What's the big deal? When he was taken away the protester simply became unglued.

 

I'm quite confident that these climate protestors do more to harm their cause than promote it. If people this stupid think that climate change is a problem then it probably isn't.

 

I don't think they move the needle in any direction, and honestly the actions that would be effective and necessary to force action would be far more disruptive and destructive than delaying a sporting event for 15 minutes or so.

 

Meh
Climate activist are like PETA.. just a spectacle that boarders on annoying. They don’t help their mission in any way.

 

Who needs protesters about climate change when you've got Category 5 hurricanes?

"The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind." - Bob Dylan

 

"Idiot wind
Blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind
Blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We're idiots, babe
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves." - Bob Dylan

 

Good to know. My coal mine, backyard oil well and F350 are already made too.
*I actually own none of those things. This post was a hyperbolic attempt at humor. The environment was not harmed in the making of this post.
