    Does posting edgy motivationals count as being ungovernable? Seems a lot weaker than protesting in the streets.

    I’ll be out there on the 19th. Will you?

      I dunno, does making smug political dick-measuring comments count? Seems like it accomplishes nothing but making you feel morally superior.

        You should be aware if you and your friends want to do the bottom half of the picture, you can organize and go to any of the protests and fuck shit up.

        In fact the large side of the crowd is what makes it possible to conduct more disruptive acts. Those people are at best your allies and at worst your sheep providing cover.

        What are you complaining on about - go do it.

          I’m complaining about the guy I replied to being a smug jackass, why, what on earth are you talking about? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

        Brother, you’re commenting under a “meme” complaining about the exact same thing the “meme” is doing.

          Good for you. What, do you want a cookie and a pat on the head to tell you what a good person you are? The protest is the point, join it if you think it’s the right thing to do, but lording it over some randos on the internet isn’t accomplishing a damned thing and you should not have any illusions about that fact.

          I can’t believe you’re being downvoted for actually acting on something. All these losers do is post edgy memes about doing more but they’re too frightened to leave their keyboard. Protesting may not solve our problems over night but you should be proud that you’re doing something. Ignore these fools doing nothing but complaining it’s not enough.

            I don’t think they’re being downvoted for ‘actually acting on something’, they’re being downvoted for sneering at the way other people are expressing their anger online.

            Idk where libs get this delusion that they’re the only ones online doing things in the real world - the rest of us just prefer to keep our irl activities separate and keep the rage posting on the forums.

            They’re not, they’re being downvoted for being a smug asshole to everyone about it. I’m not advocating against protesting or any of that shit, I’m just callin’ out assholery where I see it.
