    Ah, more ways you aren’t allowed to protest to add to the list.

    1. You aren’t allowed to protest unless the protest only affects the Officially Designated List (ODL) of “influencers”, politicians, or industries. Other people affected by protests is unacceptable.
    2. Democratic action cannot be a goal of protest. Protest must only be targeted to inconvenience bad guys (see ODL) and nothing else.
    3. Protests must not cause spectacle. The must be subdued, quiet, and easily ignored.
    4. Protestors must always be of a positive nature; only protests that have specific solutions and plans of actions are allowed. Protesting against things is unacceptable, you must only protest FOR things.
    5. Protest that involves property crime must be entirely shut down, permanently, with the entire organization tarred and feathered. ESPECIALLY if the property crime was throwing soup at a museum painting that was fully-sealed behind glass and totally protected. Protecting fine art matters more than keeping our civilization running.

    Let me know if you’ve got more Unacceptable Protest Options (UPOs). I’ll maintain the list for you.

      Here’s your litmus test: when the public’s general response to your actions are to call for American-style policing, you’ve fucked up, big time.

        Even worse, the public general response is to roll their eyes and laugh at the short sighted, uninformed, naive idiots.
