I wasn't saying it as an insult. I was saying it because many of your talking points diminishing the protests are awfully similar to the talking points of the far right.

Glad to hear you're going to protest though even if you don't believe it will have any impact!

Recognizing reality doesn’t make me right wing, you’re just upset because when I say it does nothing it makes you feel helpless… and instead of doing more you just sit down and scream.

I (unlike you) recognize that I might be wrong, and so I go through the pointless motions of making my body seen at these events.

Besides, protesting makes people horny and it’s a good place to find a hot boy who wants to burn it down with me.

Okie doke.. Enjoy your hot protest boy!

P.S. Not feeling helpless or screamy at all.
