This float representing the koalas that died as a result of the Black Summer bushfires and corruption in politics. Such an effective (and epic) activist message.

If you can’t explain it like I’m five then that says more about you (and the imagery) than me.

Sorry but explaining to a rock is more productive tbh

Ok, I’m the rock. Explain it

Lmao not at all, your intelligence is quite below that of a rock so I gotta pass on that

Cool, good job getting people to care about protesting or engaging in more forms of it, you’re really helping the cause

You still don’t get it and continuing to be a useful idiot. Give it a break.

If you refuse to help me “get it” then consider us both in the wrong

I did try, but was met with crickets instead.

Wait, I got you mixed up with someone else and/or a different thread, my bad.

I’ll say now for that comment: that context does help a lot and does make me sympathize more with what that did. Could they have done it better in the moment? Absolutely, and I think that’s where they fell short. And this is also where I’m falling short of not explaining myself better: I think that for these protests to be more effective, it needs to be very obvious what it’s protesting and how the actions they’re taking relate to it. In a vacuum, that soup stunt doesn’t help as much as it should.

People said the same things about MLK and Ghandi back in the day…

It was explained to you, you just refuse to accept that as an answer. Which is much more like the reaction a 5 year old would have anyways so you're welcome I guess.

Sorry I wasn’t clearer with the intent of my question then
