I agree that apathy is really fucking shitty, but you guys abroad have to realize that there are groups of people who genuinely are trying to get things to change.
By pissing on these people who are celebrating protests, you're weakening the will of the people to fight back. People aren't going to want to change when they don't feel like it'll do anything.
If you want a fire to grow, the best thing you can do is throw some lighter fluid on it instead of water
Protests are like throwing snowballs at a snow plow thinking it will make it stop.
It's still early days. We need all the momentum we can get. If things continue going the way they are, it won't take long for it to evolve beyond just protesting
Not if the clowns at 50501.zone have anything to do with it. They wanna control the narrative so hard
That's what happens in echo chambers.
There are many kinds of protest. The kind you're imagining with walking around carrying signs is one kind, and doesn't accomplish much in this situation. But there are other kinds of protest that may well work.
Of course. Not gonna insinuate anything, buuuut, I'm not too sure that nonviolence is the way forward
