What??? I hear Americans hating her for "trying to get attention and stopping people from doing their jobs" all the time

Based on evidence or feelings though lol

you like to bring up things that are beside the point, it does not matter if they have a problem with her for a real reason or a made up one, just that a lot of people discredit her because of her trying to bring attention to climate change. I was just responding to the "I can’t think of one instance where she has angered working people to gain traction"

Fair enough - I definitely should have been more precise.

I'm trying to criticize protests that actively alienate people who agree with the cause.

What I'm trying to understand is whether Just Stop Oil wants to inconvenience the average joe or whether they are targeting those with the power to make a difference? Imo, at times it feels like the former more than the latter.

If they were so dumb they saw a protest for something they agree with then stop because it's an annoyance then they did not give a shit about the issue in the first place.

I never said stop supporting the cause -- but the way I'm feeling is other groups are more effective is all.
