Why do they need to be hard to ignore? They don’t have a right to attention.

Why do they need to be hard to ignore? They don’t have a right to attention.
- jmye 3y agoWhat do “rights” have to do with the question? What a weird strawman. You don’t, generally, have a “right” to not be annoyed by protestors, if that’s really the road you want to go down, here.
- throwawa14223 3y agoSure I do. I have freedom of conscience and freedom of association. I am on no way obligated to give them a way to protest that ensures my attention.
- jmye 3y agoNeither of those imply a right to not be annoyed. They imply a right to walk away from the annoyance. They would, similarly, have the “right” (in whatever weird sense the word is being used, here) to craft a plan that would make that difficult. And so on. “Rights” are a bizarre/incoherent way to look at this.
- throwawa14223 3y agoThey don't have any right to my attention precisely because I have the right to walk away. How is that not the moral framework involved?
