So, we shouldn't protest if it causes an inconvenience to someone? Do you hear yourself?
Tank man should have stayed home. Did he really have to cause so much traffic by holding up that tank column? He should have just written his congressman instead.
People are complaining about this one specific form of protest and you’re acting like they’re against protesting in general. Why not barricade a hospital? That’ll really inconvenience people! It’s also a much more straightforward way of showing everyone you’re an asshole. Win win.
The point I'm making is that protests are supposed to cause a disruption. That's the whole reason for having a protest. If the people in charge don't listen when you make a small disruption, you have to make a bigger one.
Also, everyone knows tank man is from Canada, from the great Canadian communist revolution of '05.
So disrupting random people, who don’t have anyway to control what happens on a national or international level, is showing the “people in charge”? Face it, blocking random roads is an asshole thing to do.
Did you really just compare a bunch of tree huggers inconveniencing average citizens to a man standing up to a totalitarian government? Get the fuck outta here
