Too right. People saying Just Stop Oil protests are wrong or don't work align themselves with those that in past times said slavery is wrong but slave rebellions are also wrong, or those that said women should have votes but the suffragettes go too far, or that apartheid should end but Mandela's defense of violent resistance is misguided...
To argue that disruptive protest is wrong or doesn't work is simply to reveal your ignorance of history. Almost always, it causes some adverse reaction in the short term, but in the end leads to positive change.
