And of course someone beans Digger with a shoe, presumably a reference to the shoe Bush dodged (what if it hit!) but I think this is also meant to be interpreted as largely symbolic and therefore ineffective at stopping the fossil fuel industry.

yeah good adds! i could have gone on about this movie lol but i think the street protests are meant to contrast with the "protest" the theatergoers are doing by seeing the play—but i also think the movie hints that that is also largely ineffectual (the "compliance is freedom" graffiti got me)

At the parliamentary hall, Digger and Ganesh are rather nonchalant about the protestors outside accusing Digger of genocide and launching molotovs at them. And at the very end, in the NYC street scene, we see anti-oil graffiti on the walls. There IS a resistance movement, but its outside the film.

Two things I'd add that I think you and @mollytaft.com might appreciate: Don't Look Up briefly depicts a sit-in / strike at a legislative hall, IIRC, but otherwise depicts direct action for laughs. Digger has two key scenes that point to more direct action, which none of the characters engage w/
