Dr. Ben Kenward and I showed a hundred different articles about disruptive protests to people and measured their climate attitudes. It turns out that the type of activism, whether you poop in a lake or climb a smokestack, does not matter. He blogged about it: boiledfrogs.substack.com/p/details-of...

Details of disruptive environmental protest don’t matter much; but audience ideology does
Environmentalists agonise a lot about how to protest the destruction of everything keeping us alive, but our latest results show the issue doesn’t matter as much as they think.

Jeg skal snakke på #folkemødetsforskningsscene! Jeg guider publikum igennem ny forskning i effekterne af forstyrrende protester på offentlige holdninger. Kan aktivister få medierne til at tale om deres mærkesag? Opnår de støtte for deres sag, eller bare polarisering? Find ud af det 12/6 kl. 11, F14.

My friends are in that picture... So I'm hoping this review paper on disruptive protest will be useful not just to movement scholars 🎓, but also to movement members ✊ who are trying to decide whether (continuing) disruptive protests is a good idea. doi.org/10.1093/pnas...
