Topic	Screw protests/protesters who block freeways and streets with their bs
RyukSan 10/29/23 10:22:02 PM #252:	DnDer posted... Simple-minded people who don't follow politics will probably encounter a protest, even if it's one blocking the road, and hear of a new thing they weren't paying attention to before, coming to new awareness of an issue. Just an example I can think of that would be easy to garner sympathy for. "Why are these people blocking the road? The f* is going on? [...] Romney did what to his dog? That mother-fer!" If they are sitting in some blockade on the highway after a long ass day at work, or need to get to work, you are very optimistic to think those people would be begging to understand and dig deep into why these people who decided to block the road are ruining their day instead of doing something that would ruin the day of the people they are protesting. Your example wouldn't garner people to have sympathy and interest. The people it's targeting have nothing to with your example and just aims to inconvenience people who have nothing to do with what you're protesting. In fact, that example would piss a lot of people off. "You caused me to lose a day of work because of what some guy did to a dog? Why the fuck didn't you go inconvenience him? Are you going to pay me for the salary missed, are you going to make up appointments missed? What Romney allegedly did is messed up, but that has nothing to do with you fucking up my life over it." It's great you can casually miss a day of work or not get to places on time with no lasting harm, but for some people that seriously harms them. This doesn't mean "people shouldn't protest" like some twist it to with examples that directly involve people protesting and inconveniences to the very people they are protesting. <cite>RyukSan posted [p:976930659] in Screw prot...
