@icedquinn that’s a realization that I wish more people would come to.
Not only do so many protests seem pointless in the first place, but so many are counterproductive, actually hurting their own causes by pissing off people they inconvenience.
All too often protests are just parties full of people who don’t realize the negative impacts they’re having.
It’s pointless at best.
Since arriving here, and instinctively liking it, I've tried to listen and think about the impact I and other new arrivals are having.
It's so easy to bring Bad Habits that we learned from the Bad Place, without even realising. But that's the last thing I want to do.
Reading this has been helpful, and I hope it will help me reflect more on how I engage here.
