Are you suggesting we shouldn't protest now because we haven't protested at such a scale in a while?
There have been protest since King, though not at this scale, no. The current circumstances are Political with a capital P, the class of things that can reshuffle a society. If this isn't the time to protest for redress of grievances, then there is no time.
And I disagree if you're arguing that protesting is not essential.
- closeparen 6y ago>doesn't care if there's a pandemic or not I am suggesting that the our reaction to the issue very much depends on whether there is a pandemic or not, and that the vigor of these protests is not despite the pandemic but because of it. I can respect and admire the decision that you personally dying of COVID-19 is worth it in order to express this grievance, but the nature of infectious disease is it's not just yourself that you're sacrificing here.
