Blocking the only road to the Hague interrupts supply lines and deliveries, damaging profits. There's not some secret cabal that controls the world, politicians are reliant on the support of the Capitalist class and not some individuals.

The word you're looking for is Hegemon. Wikipedia isn't a good source for education.

I never said it was.
Also "the establishment"? Really? Are we gonna talk about fake news next?
You gotta educate yourself.

So many comments about protests being bad for disrupting business as usual as if that's not the point of the protest. The leaders in our worlds only care about "the economy" so disrupting that repeatedly is the only way to get their attention.

I disagree. The protest is aimed at the capitalist class and centered around denying them profit. With enough disruption the capitalists must change their methods to continue making money.
It's not a protest to persuade people or change their opinion. As others have said, people already know what they think about climate change.
