Why should a couple crazy people EVER imply a cause is dumb or not worth it?
It sounds more like people suck at judging why things are a good idea. On both sides in this case. Being careful of the climate was and is ALWAYS a good idea regardless of how bad an idea any specific protest is. Humans are too stupid to see their own blind spots because they just assume what's there instead of actually looking.
Appealing to the actions of stupid people in no way what so ever justifies their stupidity.
Do I seriously have to explain the, "if all your friends were jumping off a bridge..." thing in the year 2024?! I am literally describing to you how people are reactionary, and you go, "yea but people are reactionary!"
Thanks for failing to understand the point: Reactionary thought is stupid. I am calling that natural reaction stupid, because it is stupid. I don't care if it's natural. So is dying to a gunshot wound, but I'm still going to go to the hospital.
I agree optics are extremely important, but my point still stands that humanity is fucking stupid for partaking in such judgement.
