Even if you think that fighting the university's general principle is right, then do you think this is the right issue to pick? This is the right hill to die on

If you fight for a just cause and you choose your examples and tactics such that you sound like a twitter parody account, you're going to lose.
- hansvm 5y agoWhat on earth are you going on about?
- Arnt 5y agoOK, let me try again. If your viewpoint is that the university is acting improperly and should not impose fines and/or block network access, then the next question is whether this particular instance of the university's general policy is a good example to choose for a protest. And my answer is no. When 94% have complied already, then it's likely that most of the students (who are most of the relvant public) will consider a protest as stupid as that repjacktrimble tweet. And if the university's next rule is less widely accepted, then the perceived stupidity of this protest harms the protest against that next rule.
