    So the idea is that people should not have fun while there are terrible things in the world? Especially the people trying to improve the situation somewhat? Am I getting that right?

      Running around throwing dildos at people doesn’t achieve anything except making a cause look exceptionally stupid.

          Yes, he doesn’t understand you have progressively hardened your actions from interpretative dance to… this.
          And I hear there’s plans to go on strike for a whole complete day!
          Trump is already making plans to flee the country under this relentless pressure from the combative and revolutionary population of the US banana republic.

            If it was a big angry mob throwing them, it could be? That could be both threatening and humiliating at the same time. I agree that whatever this is doesn’t seem too effective though, but then on the other hand I don’t trust this isn’t some misinformation campaign to make the protesting look stupid in general. Sad times

                I think I understand your feelings. I think I am your ally and you are mine.

                I am upset daily that I go to work, without just stopping in the street and asking everyone, why aren’t we stopping this? I love being late to work because I stopped to help somebody, and I have been, I will always stop to help if I am aware of the opportunity.

                Alas, we need numbers and organization. Focusing on the negatives we see in others actions, in situations like these where they aren’t obviously bad actors or feds, leads to division, which is a popular goal of our oppositions. Organize a dildo march whatever gets people together, gets more people to hear the next message.

                Each demonstration I go to, the speeches are all focusing on what we need to do more of. They are helping people sign up for voting or getting in community groups to protect each other.
