Westerners act like being late for work is the worst thing that can happen to someone. 

"Get out of the road, I really want to get to my depressing job where everyone treats me like shit!"

Coming across a protest like this is an automatic excuse to be an hour late to work. 

People don't understand that protests are supposed to be disruptive.

Edit: Also, fuck that fat guy. I hope terrible things happen to him.

*How dare these protesters disturb a workday at burger corp USA!!*

calling everyone who disagrees with you a lib is completely pointless, annoying, and shuts down any conversation and reflection that could occur in threads like these. we’re all leftists here, and having different ideas on how to take action and protest does not detract from that at all.

all you’re doing by saying this is diluting what it actually means to be a lib and further isolates leftism away from people who are open to its ideas.

plus, this form of protest literally, objectively, does not work. all it does is annoy people and spamming cHeCkMaTe LiBeRaLs like a bunch of dumb children is not going to help.

P.S. I could go on about how protest groups such as Just Stop Oil are oftentimes more harmful than not in their current form. I can speak from direct, personal experience when I say that the Just Stop Oil group in London is actually just a cult who think that the more times you get arrested = the better your protest and have a worrying propensity towards drug abuse among its members (which, by the way, is so amazingly ironic that I'm forced to laugh or else I'll cry whenever I see them, given how those types of drugs are manufactured).

...and then you guys wonder why people turn to liberalism and right wing grifters. all i ever see you guys do is push people away from our cause, never bring people in. U.S. politics is a fucking joke right now and you all deserve it.

First off, I was just teasing you, bro. You want to know why I was (at the time jokingly, not so sure now) calling you a lib is because you just proved the theory of 'scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds'. We teased you only the barest amount and you're sitting there going "THIS IS WHY PEOPLE TURN TO LIBERALISM AND FASCISM AND I HOPE YOU AMERICANS GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!". You can _call_ yourself a Leftist, but you're wearing it like a jacket, because no true leftist would or should pull an attitude like that. When I get downvoted on the sub, I don't wish them doom, I shrug it off because I recognize that not everyone will agree with me and it's usually over trivial semantics. You need to take a very good hard look at your politics and rethink yourself because you are masking your liberal fascist tendencies under a socialist aesthetic and you probably don't even realize it.

Sorry but I didn't realise that calling out an organisation which *none of you* have interacted with, met any of its members, met any of its leaders, know what its leaders act like, been attempted to be recruited by it or done any amount of substantial research into it AT ALL would warrant the reactions that I'm getting.

I don't see how you can think this is a good way to build a leftist community when as soon as someone disagrees with you over one thing they have their leftist card revoked and are made fun of in defence of an organisation that literally no one knows anything about. It's more than a joke.

I've actually lived with JSO members. One of my close friends is now going to prison and getting a criminal record because JSO pressured them to plead not guilty for no fucking reason other than to 'protest'. How can you possibly think that sending 18 year olds to prison for some aimless, drugged out organisation is an effective protest? This literally happens all the time and you guys are so oblivious it hurts.

&gt;"THIS IS WHY PEOPLE TURN TO LIBERALISM AND FASCISM AND I HOPE YOU AMERICANS GET WHAT YOU DESERVE!"

I was just teasing you, bro. And I'm sorry because none of you deserve this any more than you deserved 9/11, so I'm wishing you all good luck with thoughts and prayers
