The amount of obnoxious “But they’re holding up traffic!” “But they’re inconveniencing me!” as reasons for why they’re against these protests makes it clear to me how much of humanity is a lost cause.
How did we go from disruptive protests bringing about civil rights and a better standard of living for people in the modern era, to this?
Plot twist: We didn’t. It’s just not a protest in favor of fascist beliefs.
The trucker protest didn’t get nuked by the same fucks who argue “but muh traffic” logic everytime Just Stop Oil shows up.
Just Stop Oil causing minor disruptions in traffic = evil bad and “i have to get to work.”
Fascist Truckers literally causing gridlock and constant noise disturbances for days on end = “BASED BASED BASED, LGB! WOOOOOOOOOOO”
Yeah, sure. Disruptive protests are only okay when they threaten to overturn an election or furthering some other fascist goal. But keeping us all from frying? “I HAVE TO GET TO WORK!!”
Uh huh. Nah, if someone disrupts traffic and makes me late to work. I’m taking video, and keeping that for my excuse to being late to work.
If you’re having an issue with being late to work, because you will lack hours, maybe you and a group of your fellow workers might get an idea from this little incident. Where you maybe could, hmm i dunno, form a disruptive group that goes on strike and negotiates for better wages and terms of employment.
