Protest at the big corporations, cool, I might show up.
Protest in the middle of the fucking road, and you might get hit...
- Americans be like "Nothing gets between me and the job that makes me want to kill myself."
  
  I can't be ladt to my 12 hour shift on my second job or i'll lose my home tomorrow.
  
  You also lose your health insurance. You know, the American way to prevent protest.
  
  Yup that's the only reason
- We get it, you care as long as your selfish ass isn't inconvenienced. I so love a society that pretends to care oh so much about democracy and the average person supposedly being able to change things and then being so angry about then being the target of protests when they don't take the actions to change things.
  
  You think they don't know, or don't care? They can't do shit about it because individual people aren't the root of the problem. "Inconveniencing" someone by potentially costing them their livelihood and home isn't going to win you any support.
  
  Their centrist pearl clutching hasn't done anything so far so why make yourself smaller to appease someone who won't help anyway? Sorry - get real about the stakes or get aside.
  
  Yeah so go lop some politicians and CEOs heads off and put them on stakes outside of parliament and such. Those are the people with the power to enact change, and they’re all too happy to see you fuck with people who can do fuck all instead of them.
  
  I'm more in the blockade a port/unmake a pipeline/put sand in the oil tanks kind of a mindset but go off

  This guy has so many edges he became a sphere.
- "inconvenience me and I might murder you with my car" I hope you're getting a lot of money from the oil tycoons in exchange for being one of their brownshirts
- You're asking them to protest at places where you evidently haven't noticed the protests all these years, because you haven't shown up. You're not going to show up. I don't think even you believe you're going to show up.
  But you do seem to notice the protests you can't ignore. There's only one way you can make those stop.
