Protest for or against whatever you think is important and not what others think is important.
Also usually people can protest for or against more than one thing.
ppl who disagree with your second paragraph confuse me to no end
literally the “i like waffles”, “OH SO YOU HATE PANCAKES?” meme
You often get that from people who are arguing in bad faith.

sdfsaf
Even if they did accomplish a lot and the person is just talking about never reading it in headlines they look at every other week.
be me
stoopid
sabotage everything I’m involved at
Bro you should get involved in capitalism
too much incompetent competition
elaborate?
By the virtue of not putting any effort but a shallow uninspired imitation of it, one can safely damage the institution they work in.
so true i guess im a little confused abt how this relates to the post tho
True. It came off a bit random. I thought about it like protesting without protesting, the gray zone the duality of this post doesn’t cover.
Kinda misses the point, no?
The question needs an answer, even if the person asking also has their own questions to answer.
bad faith questions like this don’t deserve an answer, no
“you like waffles? so why do i see you eating pancakes right now”
Okay, yeah. If it’s in bad faith I totally agree.
Still, I do have to wonder why some genocides are more important to people than others. There’s a genuine question there too
thanks for understanding haha. and yes there is probably a context where someone could ask this question in good faith but that’s not the context of this post :)
For example what is it about Palestine that is driving the current set of protests that the last 5 years in Ethiopia lacked?
In this case I would assume it’s the fact that many western nations are involved with Israel in some way.
I’ll do you one better, what is it about Palestine this time?
Israel’s been getting away with genocide for decades, of course none of them see a problem with finishing the job now. What has suddenly changed such that the American public are finally able to realize the apartheid government they’ve been financially supporting all these years is actually evil?
People are better informed.
Are you upset that people are protesting now? Sure, they should have been protesting before but unless you have a time machine there’s nothing we can do about that.
Hypocrites shouldn’t be taken seriously. If someone professes X should be done and is choosing not to do it, they belie their own stance.
People put far too much emphasis on hypocrisy. Being a hypocrite has nothing to do with whether you are right or wrong.
If a murderer says “murdering is wrong”, does him being a hypocrite make that statement any less true?
