> chaos and violence
The protests are docile. There are almost no reports of violence. I've seen more than one 'encampment' at various schools; it's just people hanging around tents. Most of the chaos and violence were introduced by law enforcement. How could the protestors be any less disruptive and still be protesting? Picket lines are more disruptive.
Protests with chaos and violence include large crowds destroying and looting. The reactionaries are so anxious to assume the protestors are awful that they just seem to assume or say there is 'chaos and violence' and people repeat it, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
- sandspar 2y ago>The protests are docile For how much longer do you expect them to remain docile?
- wolverine876 2y agoIf you have information that says otherwise, please share it. FWIW, your assumptions about the protestors seem to match the preconceived notions (conveniently serving anti-progressive politics) of the neoreactionaries - before the protestors even begin, they are terrorists, etc. Judge them by what they do, not all that nonsense: they have been peaceful everywhere.
- sandspar 2y agoDid you misunderstand me? I meant that the protests are likely to not remain docile for the future. I didn't mean "for how much longer will you continue to believe they're docile", I meant "what do you believe is the length of time they'll remain docile". Sorry if I was unclear.
- wolverine876 2y agoI understood you the first time, though thanks for clarifying. My questions are based on that understanding.
