Welcome to the future of political activism. I'm overwhelmingly disenchanted with the tone of this discussion.
And you know, I hope everyone on this thread will take a moment and think about what their lives and our world might be like right now without the tradition of social and political protest.
And it's highly irrelevant - what you think of this protest in particular. The issues are not yours to pick and choose. What some of you are speaking for are the ideals of political repression and assassination and I think it's pretty ridiculous...to put it nicely.
