      These are not things individuals can do this weekend. These all require the actions of the politicians that are owned by the billionaires that don’t want these changes. What are your great ideas that individual citizens can implement right now?

          What’s that going to do? Who is going to pay any attention to it? Certainly not the politicians owned by the billionaires. Certainly not the billionaires for whom such an action will not hurt them in any way. You’re here criticizing this protest as being ineffective, but only present alternative actions when pressed, and your supposed alternatives are even less effective. Either put up something that at least has a credible probability of helping, or STFU.

              Incorrect. You’re in here criticizing people actually taking action, from your armchair warrior position, admitting to not actually doing anything yourself, because… reasons.

              Nobody is saying these protests are going to solve everything. Not by a long shot. But they are one of the things people can do right now that will help. Evidence? Tesla stock is down 33% in the last month, and over 50% since December. That’s hurting Muskrat directly, as evidenced by Trump shilling for Tesla from the Whitehouse.

              You introduced the virus vs symptom treatment analogy. Well how about this. If you have a disease, and the only medication available to you at the moment only treats the symptoms, then you still take that medicine. You work towards getting a medication that will treat the disease, but in the meantime, you don’t turn down the one you have now, or criticize others for taking it.

      Ah yes! Get idea! Just completely change the system! Why didn’t WE think of that!

      Good show! I’ll call everyone today and tell them that these protests are completely stupid and we have a better idea now
