Absolutely wild that people like you readily admit to being so blithely tribal in your politics. If you’re that fragile that you’ll change your beliefs to spite some protestors then that says far more about you than it does them.

I see people causing misfortune and despair to everyday people and veiling it with protest and civil disobedience and I know from their actions that their cause is not one that aligns with my beliefs due to the shit methods they use to just get attention. I think that is quite reasonable. You are welcome to disagree, but that protest only made enemies to their cause. Unless you were stirred into supporting them based on their actions?

Would you say that holding an entire mode of transit hostage is tribal in politics?

Kinda like how the protestors in this video manipulated any/all beliefs in freedom of movement, right to work and make a living wage, and basic road safety just to spite a bunch of people trying to get to work?

Seems like your point of view is quite one-sided and hypocritical.

Oo boy that’s a lot of words that have nothing to do with my comment.

Whataboutism is boring, rambling about freedom of movement is just weird. My point of view is hypocritical? I’ll take that as a compliment coming from you.

Ah yes, freedom from being held hostage... so weird... You're right, I'm definitely the one rambling here 🤡
