          If your protest is blocking traffic, you’re an asshole. It’s not about WHAT you’re protesting. If cops are protesting and blocking traffic, they’re also assholes also.

            the only way to get shit done in this fucked up society is to cause disruptions. Otherwise, people will turn a blind eye

            There isn’t an effective form of protest that doesn’t involve inconveniencing people.
