Nice to see that even Nature agrees that arguing about how popular some protests are is unhelpful and unnecessary. Now can we stop with the “I agree with the cause, I just don’t think this is the right kind of protest…” from the sidelines? It’s exhausting and gives off serious NIMBY energy.
Yeah it’s not like people are trying peaceful stuff for 40 years and nothing works.
Remind them if they care about the children…
And every time they go “I agree with the cause, I just don’t think this is the right kind of protest…” pushes the topic on the top of the agenda, which means the people in power have to do something about it. Since it is not something solved over night, that really means a constant push is needed. Protestors are not running for election, so who cares few people like them.
Point is it is a feature not a bug.
I’m at the point I assume all “wrong kind of protest” arguments come from a place of dishonesty.
Since overwhelmingly the argument is “I agree with the message, but they should stop protesting with their message as it is quite bothersome to me.”
As if a protest isn’t meant to be disruptive.
