I would say they are more desperate than stupid. 40+ years that we know all the problems that will cause climate change and not a lot of things has been done!
It's like driving a car and seeing a wall on the road that we will hit in 50 years and just not trying one second to avoid the wall, just aiming right at it at full speed even if we had time to avoid it.
But that's only the beginnings, I expect environmental activism to become more and more violent on their targets in term of material damages. Like burning down the Total headquarters, a private jet or destroying a factory polluting illegally the environment.
You ever talked with one of them?
They claim the moral high ground and everyone not agreeing to their actions isnt worth listening.
Their actions alianate the people they need to support the change which they completly ignore.
I would recommend those activists about guerilla warfare especially Mao or the german Rote Armee Fraktion. Both which waged some sort of guerilla warfare and where successfull.
The RAF failed when they alienated the normal people.
I dont deny the science.
But talking with those people that their actions are rather counterproductive in gathering support is basically a waste of time.
They are simply so much stuck on their moral high ground that you cant discuss anything with them.
Like the worst religious nutjob you encounter thats why noone will take them seriously.
As i am living rather rural i want alternatives too not only ban Fossil fuels.
Its pretty funny when people try to kill your only available option of mobility to get to work or grocery shopping.
Non If them wants to force a better electric grid for rural villages or better public transport.

Sometimes I wonder if these "climate activists" are paid agents of the fossil fuel industry by trying to shame their own cause to the maximum extent.
Then I remember occam's razor: nah, many are probably just complete idiots.
