Ok, but protests need to be done “without distraction”? That kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?
Since there's more than one of you ignorant settler narcissists replying to the above comment to the tune of "as long as I'm not inconvenienced...", I'm not taking the time to respond to all of you individually: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POINT OF A PROTEST IS, YOU COMFORTABLE SUBURBANITE COLONOIDS? THE POINT IS TO BE SEEN! THE POINT IS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO AN INJUSTICE!
Now it shouldn't surprise me that the sons and daughters of Kent State's protestors have this take, but it disgusts me; because y'all wanna talk all this bullshit about failures of civics classes when your blueanon genocidairés fail to get the votes you think they're automatically entitled to, then you'll say some bullshit like "I'm against any protest I can't ignore". I hope you keep that same energy when it's your face the government is forcing its boot down on; 'cause I'll be dead by then-- and if I wasn't? I'd laugh at you. I'd make jokes at your expense. I'd spit on your cause as I walked by. Finally, after all that got boring, I'd ignore you. THE EXACT SAME WAY Y'ALL DO RIGHT NOW.
Death to the settlers. John Brown should've killed more slavers; maybe we'd have less settler treatbrains to deal with in the here-and-now.
I think he meant to stay on point. As in, don't fall into antisemitism when you're protesting Israel. Since that's what he mentioned just before.
Conveniently they are about to declare those the same thing
I'm against all protests that I can't ignore completely
