Lots of people make tactical decisions that I think are indefensibly shit all the time. I'm not even particularly sold on the merits of this specific action, I think it's a very effective way of achieving one specific goal (media attention) but I'm not sure that pursuing that goal is the most useful thing to be doing. But that's not the point, the point I'm interested in is that there are people who seem to be incapable of imagining a sincere, meaningful disagreement, so anyone using tactics they think are shit must be part of a conspiracy. You seem to think that's a reasonable and defensible position, would you like to expand some more on it?
Because their tactics are so bizarre they invite conspiracy theory, because the only other reasonable explanation is that they’re idiots. There can’t be sincere meaningful disagreement if your colleagues, instead of joining you on a strike for more pay, go around shitting in primary school classrooms to get media attention.
Prior to the TikTok whatevers, people on this very thread were suggesting that only those working for oil interests could conceive of such ridiculous protest tactics.
