Absolutely, having a personal opinion on a matter invalidates my arguments. You cornered me now, you wily rascal you. So everyone knows that you toppled my wall of text, three cheers for you:

HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

They already do. It’s called a counter protest.

I agree with that.

It's interesting that you end a post about how important it is to make yourself be heard with a note that you don't care to hear opposing viewpoints unless they are presented in a way you like.

That was not my intended meaning. Only that I do not care for reactionary opinions based on the assumption of what I think is a worthy cause to protest in this way and that if they were going to be presented anyway they should at least be interesting.

As for opposing views and arguments, I welcomed them to the best of my ability. There were very few of those, most responses were attacks on the parts of my reasoning that struck a nerve. It’s like trying to cut down a tree by picking off the leaves.

I can’t really argue with any of the other points you made because I had already accounted for them as conditions for my opinion.

The hill I’m choosing to die on is that whether you’re with the Canada Truck Convoy Boys or part of Palestines Pals you have a right to be heard and that we have a right to judge the actions taken to be heard against what you’re saying.

I truly appreciate your contributions to this conversation.

To answer your question, that is not my position at all. Regardless of my personal feelings on democracy and its current state it isn’t my justification for protesting in a way with potentially deadly consequences. When all other options have been exhausted or in situations of true need you can and you should protest in a manner that might have deadly consequences. And should you choose to protest in a way with potentially deadly consequences you can and should be judged for any and all consequences.

I would make an awful politician. I don’t want the power nor responsibility. Sorta just want to shake it all loose, break it down to more manageable pieces, get rid of anything that’s broken beyond repair or unnecessary and turn it over to everyone else so a greater number of people can have a say in how it’s shaped. Not exactly a winning platform.

I can agree with not engaging with hate and reporting it as encountered.

I don’t think anything about your attitude or demeanor when responding to others. I was referring more towards you saying to simply not engage with the trolls at all so that newbies would get the impression that we’re better than that as the difference between us.

You have found a method that works and you are putting into practice what you think is best. Automatically cements my respect for you because those are things I can get behind.

This isn’t a with all due respect statement, just sincerity, that method doesn’t work for me. I cannot walk away from every chance I come across to challenge my positions because I believe that means losing on opportunities to strengthen my beliefs. This means that sometimes I’m gonna need to get down in the mud, get my hands dirty and make an ass of myself.

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed.

Some mud wrasslin’ and chasing an oil covered squealer through a field is just old fashioned wholesome fun. Don’t knock it til you try it neighbor

How seriously do you think black-face was considered? Do you think it was the optics or logistics that stymied that thought?

Body piercings and tattoos also H O T

Joining in on the fray with edgelords is the closest I want to be to bloodsports. Dark impulses are hard to stamp out of the soul.

Lot of words just to say that once the advertisers move in on a centralized platform its value is shot. A huge part of the reason I abandoned the last platform I was using and sought a federated alternative.

People get upset if you part your hair wrong. Forgetting a name hasn’t gotten me killed yet but stranger things have happened.

I can remember someone’s name after one meeting but when I can’t it makes me feel awkward. I feel less awkward when 9 times out of 10 they forgot meeting me the first time.

If it works for you I won’t dissuade. But hiding away from shit don’t do nothing about the smell.

I have maybe 20% total awareness of what’s going on at any one time.

Mm-mm bears and otters. Delish.

Hot. Also depends on the body shape, it’s like a welcome sign down to a good time if he’s cut nice. A happy trail (hair that leads from the bellybutton to navel pubic region.) on a dad bod also fits the aesthetic.

These are great questions and these questions are exactly the reason I kept this as vague as possible.

What if protesters aren't leftists but are on the political right?

Does the right to free speech and assembly apply to them? Yes.

For example, should pro-lifers be allowed to block the offices of abortion doctors?

No. Their need isn’t justified.

What did you think of the trucker protest in Canada?

Hilarious, it brought a decent source of amusement to me. Also better than the alternative of attempting to overthrow a government through violent means.
