Most Pointless Protest

I am still bemused by the phenomenon of what have called the "Protestival".  This is an ostensibly political protest where actually achieving the supposed objective is irrelevant.  It is the activity itself which is the point.  Politics as performance art, as it were.

Thus multiple supposed causes can be mashed up together.  The objectives such as zero carbon by 2025 can be unobtainable, and the behaviour of the protesters themselves can contradict their own campaign, as when Omar Barghouti attends an Israeli university, for example.  Or Emma Thompson flys in and flys out of a zero carbon protest that would seek to drastically cut anyone's ability to fly.  Even more strangely, people can apparently revel in being the "most pointless protest of 2018" award by The Stage Magazine. 

Truly we live in an age of limitless chutzpah.
