Acceptable forms of protest

I am wondering about how differently protests are perceived, depending on their form and participants. On one hand, we have farmers blocking roads, which makes life difficult for both ordinary people and ambulances. On the other hand, there were protests by climate activists attacking works of art. What puzzles me the most are the different social and media reactions to these events. Farmer protests seem to face less criticism than actions by climate activists. This leads me to the question: What do you think are acceptable forms of protest? Are there boundaries that protesters should not cross in order for their actions to be considered just and effective?
