    Lobbying is “begging for permission” from people who have been paid to not care. “Direct action gets the goods.”

      Lobbying, protest, etc. These are effective. Money matters less than you think*. Often organising gets the job done.

      • The US is a weird case there, but in general this holds.

        Well, lobbying in the US means “bribing” and if you’re just going to talk to them without money in hand they don’t give a fuck. Since the film is set in the US, that kind of matters. Lobbying against oil anywhere in the world is basically just ignored. Again, direct action gets the goods.
