You said protests lead to a brick wall dude. I don’t know what to tell you. What’s the point of that comment if not to discourage public protests?
But you jumped from "protests haven't been effective" to "so don't do anything?"
No, you naysayed protests and then just left it at that. You never said they’re still worth doing, you never provided an alternative, you just said functionally said “it’s pointless“ by rattling off how they hit a wall and then expected me to not take it that way. Bizarre.
We are just going in circles. If you meant something else you’ve had plenty of opportunity to explain yourself. But you continue not to. So until you clarify your stance, I’m going to take the thing you originally said as written. I’m not getting bogged down in “that’s not what I said but I’m not going to say what I meant and keep it as opaque as possible.” Say what you mean or just drop it.
You really need to check your ego. You keep thinking that I'm avoiding some discussion or debate with you or something. But you're not even reading what I'm saying. I don't care about your disingenuous question.
THE SECOND you put "so do nothing?" you weren't interested in my thought. You just want to judge. That's it. You want to be right and argue why you're right. So I didn't respond to your "so do nothing?" Because it isn't genuine. I tried to explain that to you, but you still think I'm just avoiding "the question".
What I mean is if you want to discuss with someone, don't take a cynical comment and immediately apply nihilism if your intent is to learn and discuss. My intent wasn't to learn and discuss. Neither was yours. Because you demand a response doesn't mean you are entitled to anything. And if someone doesn't want to stumble along your thinking path doesn't mean they're avoiding your judgemental question. It may, however, mean they've dismissed your question
