Worthy isnt the number of deaths involved, its the amount of justice it might achieve in response to.
Protesting the lockdown is not a just cause.
Saying "Well now anything doctors say is political!" does not show good intent or faith, but someone looking for a gotcha statement so they can say "See, they were political actors all along!"
- rayiner 6y agoWho decides? Reasonable people can believe that protesting orders that shut down people’s’ livelihoods is a just cause. Publix health officials sure as hell shouldn’t be making those judgment calls.
- shkkmo 6y agoPublic health officials can presumably take a non-political stance for lockdowns. This it seems to me that even given a neutral stance on BLM issues, there can be a non-political basis for discriminating between the value of the goals of the two different protest movements.
- SamPatt 6y agoThe entire point of protesting is people saying they believe something is unjust. You can't decide what other people think is unjust. You would be negating the entire point of protests. I think the quarantine of the healthy was unjust. You're going to tell me I can't protest against it?
- hobs 6y agoActually that's the point of opinion, you get to decide what you think of other people's causes. Nobody said you cant protest to your heart's content, you can protest over anything. It's just calling out one of those protests is a mite's buzz of a complaint to a lion's roar of shame for the treatment of black people by America.
