Wow, I guess listening to the protesters instead of calling cops on them is crazy 🙄

Yeah that’s… that’s the joke

You know what, honestly, I can't blame the above commenter. Have you seen some of the trash headlines are made of these days?

Maybe if it were the National Review, Daily Caller, NYPost, or something like that.

Definitely in that case, but short of something wackily eye-catching like "infoturkbot" or w/e tf that garbage is, I usually dont notice the name until im already on the page. I'm just sayin, I could easily imagine a few circumstances that would lead to someone not getting the obvious sarcasm in the headline.

what if they listened but still disagreed with the protestors?

Then at least they should be able to say why they disagree exactly instead of "aNtiSeMiTiSm"

But would that change the outcome? I assume not really.

I guess not. But then again the chance of it happening is zero, or close to it.

Are you asking if direct action campaigns work against the powerful that disagree? Yes, yes they do.
