In the recorded interview, Hollub responded to the protest. “Here at Occidental we are working for solutions to the climate change situation that our world faces,” she said. “It’s the greatest crisis that our world has ever faced and we have to come together to work on solutions for that and so, to me, to have those that are seeking headlines rather than solutions interrupt discussions that need to be had is a sad day for them, and I feel bad that they have nothing better to do with their time.”


It is not Highschool. They are not protesting because they want their five minutes. They are protesting because sleazy people like you grab the mantle of the “adult in the room” all the bloody time and dilute any meaningful action down and oppose/slow and delay everything that makes sense.
I hate that shit. That anyone who doesn’t speak in watered down pr gobbledygook is attention seeking. The “sensible” people are always the sleazy jackasses who keep watering and diluting every damn thing down.

FWIW when progressives are as buttoned down as say my favorite progressive Lina Khan, they still get attacked with these same puerile taunts...
Sorry..so annoying. This type of person.
