not_IOvalid riots
ZagorathI can understand that people don’t like riots.
What really shits me is when people are opposed to completely non-violent disruptive protests. Street marches, die-ins, gluing yourself to statues, throwing non-destructive liquids onto monuments, etc. If you put your mild inconvenience or sense of propriety ahead of a cause, that’s clearly not a cause you believe in, so stop blaming the protestors for your lack of support.
ZoboomafooNot all protest is good protest.
Block a random highway and all you’re going to do is get people mad at your cause for making them late for work. Those people could be future allies that are getting driven away. Criticizing the form of protests is valid.
bane_killgrindThe point of protests is to make the issue were palatable to deal with than the protests.
Being completely demure and effecting nobody is a bad protest. Make the consequences measurable.
Pissing people off does not make your cause palatable. Especially when there is no obvious correlation between what you’re doing to piss them off and the goal you mean to achieve.
You wear your name well.
Not even going to attempt to defend your point?
By Inconveniencing people, there is a fighting chance to break the status quo.
Inconvenience force people to take a stance for or against, and a movement can start.
History has shown that over and over, and any person arguing against that is simply ill informed.
Thus my comment that you wear your name well. The junk food of a stand.
Ruining a piece of art does not force people to do something about Global Warming. The reason everyone shits on activist types is because these stunts are clearly cries for attention and the supposed cause is just an excuse for college kids whose parents gave them money instead of love.
