How would you protest without turning people against you (feddit.uk)

We’ve all seen the JSO protests in various events. I’d like to think a good number of people here agree with the point they are making while being uncomfortable about the way they make the point.

I for one would not run into the field in Twickenham in the middle of the final. There is no cause in the world that would make me run into a professional Rugby front row.

Putting that to one side, how would you protest to make people really stop and think without annoying them to a point where your message suffers.

But you can and they have been doing. They've been blockading the entrances to refineries. I've not heard anyone but right wingers and/or climate denialists complain about that. Honestly the pacifism is what I find the most annoying but we don't exactly have the capability or laws to "cop watch" like the Black Panthers did.
