I never claimed that I wanted people to remain "civil", you can attack that strawman as you wish. I don't mind people engaging in violent disobedience or civil disobedience, every MLK needs a Malcom X. However, I just don't see the benefit in this particular situation. If you are going to do something that could potentially harm public sentiment you should at least be doing something that materially changes things for the positive. I'm done, a lot of us are. Good luck. Get off your high horse, were all dealing with the same problem here. Just because someone differs in opinion on how political capital should be spent, it doesn't mean your perspective has a monopoly on morality or anything. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) You're lost.
