      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.

        The only reasons this doesn’t happen in the US are because nobody can afford an ambulance and because someone always tries to Truck the protesters to death within minutes anyway.

        Every protest I’ve ever been a part of just lets ambulances by, it’s fairly simple.

    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.

      We assume of others what we know of ourselves. These people don’t give a shit about genocide, so they can’t imagine anyone else genuinely doing so.

    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. It’s a bad joke joker-che

      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.
