      They’re just concern trolling for imaginary ambulances that might need to make their way through again. I remember seeing a Hong Kong color revolution video back when leddit was fawning over them and they blocked highways then. An ambulance drove by and stopped, and the color revolution agents simply scooted over to let it through.

          well that and if you’ve ever been on an SF Bay bridge you’d know a single car stalled could snarl traffic up across the whole goddamned bay area for hours and no one is going fucking anywhere

    Ah yes, because it’s impossible for someone to care about genocide without it being about the ulterior motive of their self image. Famously, anti genocide is just a cutsie little insignificant cause.

    Can you imagine the hubris of needing to be convinced to care about genocide? At least a Republican is like “I get that it’s awful, but they’re brown.” Then they agree with you about Israel being illegitimate and you probably shouldn’t associate with them.

    But really, to think it’s a complicated issue whether the 10s of thousands of deaths could even begin to be justified because some people took hostages. To never even take a moment to ask why people in an open air prison who have tried unsuccessfully to leverage peaceful means to end an illegal occupation have the vengefully upset among them.

      Incredibly high sense of self importance they basically want you to beg for their support. And if you ever get their support it will amount to nothing anyway cos they exist only to boost their own ego.

    These people are worms who lead insignificant lives. Activists don’t even need to outnumber them. They just need to keep pressing.
