Thank you for the reply. I think describing it as "the changes they want" tells me all I need to know, thank you though!

I appreciate that you're probably not a regular reader but that's a remarkably ungenerous response! What if (hear me out) I think climate action and peace in the Middle East is important but would rather activists did things that made those things more likely rather than less?

To give you validation, James, I think zooming in on a single phrase, loading it with one's own meaning, and consequently dismissing a much larger argument out of hand is about as 'bad faith' as it's possible to get.

Good post. No need to be so self deprecating (calling yourself and A***hole is a bit harsh lol).

You needed to show that stuff
