Progressive slacktivism was both at its most pointless and unintentionally hilarious highs in 2023. In no other part of the world was this more relevant than the UK and the Just Stop Oil nincompoops. You know, the people who block traffic and wonder why everyone hates them so much. Even vegans take a break from screaming at people eating meat in front of them to roll their eyes at the JSOs.

One bystanding Brit had enough. As these nutters were blocking traffic to save the planet while causing cars to idle and spew more emissions into the planet, he took the JSOs to school. Everything they own? If it wasn't made by oil, it was oil adjacent.

"What do you mean just stop oil? All your stuff is made out of oil, you idiots. Your clothes, these jackets, they are all made out of oil. What the hell are you doing here making a nuisance out of yourselves?"

He continued to point out what a joke they were, "What are you doing here? Get off the roads you're wasting everbody's time and petrol. All these, guys their engines are running all the time wasting more bloody oil, you nutters."

Side note: apparently, "bloody" is a cuss word in the UK. Daily Mail wrote it as "b*****."

I don't know if Brits can be "patriots" since they still live in England. But if possible, this hero would be one.

As we get ready to give thanks in America, one of the things we here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website are thankful for is Just Stop Oil content. It's what we call a "deuce" in the content hustling world. The videos are funny on their own, watching these dinkuses get their comeuppance from fed-up citizens. Then they're twice as funny knowing that, in their meat-deprived brains, JSOs think they're the heroes in these narratives.

Like when a bachelor party stole their sign.

"Fiona," the blonde whose gams go all the way from her ass to the ground, can drag me across the road any time she wants.

Then you had the trolls who infiltrated JSO to give them a taste of their own medicine.

It turns out, [JSO meets] at Pret a Manager. Where they drink coffee flown in from Peru in single-use cups. We discovered that before ruining everyone's day, the privately educated protestors stand in a circle and teach each one another how to breathe... before deciding who amongst them will be arrested that day.

Cheers to everyone involved in Just Stop Oil. You've done nothing to stop oil, but you have done plenty to unintentionally entertain the planet you think you're saving.
