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. |
You know, I was actually thinking about this post. You're right. If it was a whaling ship or a Japanese tuna ship that catches and kills dolphins or PETA breaking into labs and releasing animals, I would say, yeah, go protesters.
Hence, I agree with you stance on this topic, you can't pick and choose, you either accept social/political activism or you don't.
