Peaceful protestors, as is tradition, were largely ignored. Acts of civil disobedience were ignored. Acts of obstruction are being frowned upon and the people involved are turned into villains by the media. There are people out there who went through all these efforts, faced rejection or deafening silence at each step of the way and are now out there further radicalizing themselves. Policymakers are still largely sleeping on the issue. This summer broke records and hit concerning extremes all over the globe. It feels like it's just a matter of time before something boils over.
