Because as everyone knows, political change only happens spontaneously, without any organization in the lead up, and people are famously fired up by sitting around at home until we all get the magic signal to go cut politicians’ heads off
Snark all you want, but if protests actually changed anything we wouldn’t be where we are now. If anything they just function as a placebo. Everyone goes home content that they Did Something, the powers that be chuckle to themselves, and nothing happens. You only know protest has been effective when they start to complain, like with people setting Teslas on fire.
I’m all for people doing that, but if you’re gonna fight then fucking fight. Milling around waving cardboard signs ain’t it. The people going after Tesla are doing it right.
Well, I hope it made everyone feel better, but I doubt it accomplished much.
What an utterly idiotic comment
And yet you posted it anyway.

Going around discouraging people to fight for their convictions isnt going to change anything either, ever thought of that?

How many times am I going to have to post this? https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world
I suppose as many times as you feel like posting a six year old op-ed piece.
