Are you implying that if a company does something we dislike, we should just shut-up and mind our own business? What's up with the general theme on ycombinator

Are you implying that if a company does something we dislike, we should just shut-up and mind our own business? What's up with the general theme on ycombinator of defending these people? Is everyone here a fan of Rice, or do you simply have no moral principals you think are worth protesting over? Be condescending and label them as slactivists all you want. This protest is a proportional response to a perceived mis-step by a company. Would you take them more seriously if they had torches and pitchforks?
