You wouldn't like any form of protest because YOU DON'T CARE permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] nulluser@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Protesters were blocking ships that were sending weapons to Israel. Link? Because that would be a high quality protest I could get behind. That's not what the posted article is about, though. The posted article Is about protesters just blocking traffic. That's what I was commenting on. Any small group of dingbats can block traffic for a while. What they never seem to understand is that this kind of low effort protest doesn't help their cause. When you're disproportionately affecting innocent people, many of whom may actually agree with your broader message, all you do is piss people off. Blocking innocent people from getting where they're going to protest something they had nothing to do with is just a kinder gentler version of bombing an apartment building and killing innocent people just because some militants are allegedly also in the building. They're both great ways to convince people that you're a shitty human being, but that's about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 2 years ago https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/port-of-oakland-israel-military-aid-palestine-protesters-us-supplies-shipping/14008722/ Not even going to bother to address your shitty anti-protest takes, lots of others have done so in other comments. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mriormro@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Please shut up.
