    So the man who went viral in where I live who was trying to go to the hospital where his grandmother is dying and was late because of the protest was actually in hurry because the elite wants him to feel so?

    It’s not protest. It’s holding hostages.

      Fascists getting upvotes on lemmy, lmao.

      You fucks are all about freedom until it inconveniences you. Then you start talking about protests like they’re terrorists. It’s always the same bullshit cherry-picked stories about ambulances too.

      So fucking predictable.

        I mean if they want to get government to do something… Storm actual government and protest there. These were weak and "safe’ protest alternatives that don’t actually help a cause and actively turns many people against it.

        If you feel your government is not responding well the message should be made to government. Not your fellow citizen trying to get to work or in this case visit sick family.

        Holding people hostages is freedom? Are you implying that even though you’re family is in their deathbed, you are not going to blame the protesters who are using you as a hostage for their cause?

      because the elite wants him to feel so?

      More or less

      The story doesn’t tell why they left late in a hurry. Was it because the elite making them work to make a fat cat richer?
