      Sure, I would have stopped the fire, if only the fire alarm wasn’t that loud and unpleasent.

      That’s a self fulfilling prophecy, isn’t it? The effect you describe would not be there if it wasn’t for comments like this. Or at the very least, these comments make the effect bigger.

        A better idea than torching the public support that was painstakingly earned over decades? I guess every idea is better.

          Putting in political work, petitions, speaking to and informing people, writing the politicians (at best paper mail, its taken more seriously) going into a party and making change from inside, protesting normally as in on the streets and not being disruptive to the public.

          The things that have done absolutely nothing for the last 4 decades? Yeah lets keep doing it, maybe this decade guys

          I disagree that what they are doing brings any negative consequence to the movement though. Most of them are kids with no real choice. They can’t join a party. Heck, most can’t even vote. All the things you said are important and they are being done.

          It’s such a shame it’s all of our collective necks that boot you’re licking so enthusiastically is stomping on, not just yours.
