    Protests are good.

    Preventing random people from getting to where they need to be is bad.

    If you do this, it makes me think ill of your cause.

    It’s really that simple, and I don’t give a fuck how you rationalize or justify it to yourself.

          Damn. I first saw this comment 3 hours ago when it was brand new, and I genuinely thought it was some actually quite clever satire.

          But…refreshing the page and seeing all your other more recent comments in the thread… Nope. You just really are that stupid.

              This is why we need to ban cars. I’ve been delayed so many times by cars, and maybe once in my life by a protest. Emergency service response times get vastly better with fewer cars. It’s been proved over and over, like in New York recently.

      So you are saying cars are bad because they block the flow of traffic and block others getting where they need to go. Roads are bass too because they separate communities and block them from getting to other areas.

      You may tell yourself otherwise, but you’re part of the problem.

      People like you who value your own convenience higher than for example the lives of Palestinians, the planet continuing to sustain human life, or the civil rights of your neighbors are who need to be inconvenienced out of your pampered complacency.

        makes me think yo are the ttpe of perso who always says “Don’t protest like that!”.

        That’s because that’s exactly what they just did.

        “protests are good, but don’t protest like that and block me when I want a frappichino”

              It’s a basic civil right because they fought for it. Black people being allowed to live freely was also hard fought with substantial disruption and threat of violence/armament.

                    Yeah, so far it’s seems like they get upset if you say their opinions are shit but also get upset if you provide decent arguments, because then they have to bend themselves over backwards to discredit you.

                    “BUT YOU CHERRY PICKED AN EVENT”

                    You said give examples, not list the number of times it’s happened alphabetically. Plenty of ‘failed’ protests reach this person, and they never once check back in on the news story to see that the ‘radical’ action was one of the only effective methods for many of those causes.

                    Hell, even conservatives got together and trashed a political building, and all of them got pardons and a few got jobs out of the ordeal.
