It looks like the internet archive is needed assistance, I just heard about this today and figured lemmy could help spread this message around

              Reply to the “so don’t do anything?” jump straight to nihilism in response to suggestion that one route hasn’t been successful lately in the near military state? Like we’ve never heard of Occupy Wall Street, million women march, Antifa?

              No I didn’t take it as a serious enough question. It was a judgement question, not a curiosity one. A curious question would have been “if you don’t think that works, what could be done instead?”

              “But ok.”

                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.
