Can someone please calmly explain how blocking a freeway across an ocean and a country on a different continent, is supposed to have any effect on a political issue in the middle east?

    I think this conversation may have reached the end of its usefulness. Why are you insisting my grandma is racist? Why do you think damaging (edit: pretending to damage) an Andy Warhol painting hurts Mitch McConnell in any way, or that popular support for ending climate change (by “the vast majority”) would be in any way shape or form unimportant to ending climate change?

    Edit: Actually, don’t answer that. You seem very committed to arguing against points that aren’t what I’m saying, and insulting my grandma which is 1,000% unwarranted, such that I don’t think there’s any point to continuing. Again, my grandma was a physically active anti-racist activist back in a time and place when it was wildly unpopular and genuinely dangerous to her physical safety to be one. Your insisting on asserting otherwise is, one, uncalled-for and insulting, and two, an indication of how cavalier you are about saying things that simply aren’t true.

    I’m happy to continue the conversation if you’re open to being civil and listening to what I’m actually saying (although you’re in no way required to agree or anything). If not, then not.

      You might be right. If youre not bright enough to grok that Im not talking about you, mozz’s, literal biological grandmother, and if you need to re-ask questions I have explicitly answered twice now, I dont think you can ever understand what protests are in a conceptual sense, let alone why these specific protests happen.

      Good luck not walking into doors before opening them bud
