I thought so until I went back to reddit and saw the difference. Just today there was a post on PublicFreakout about Just Stop Oil sitting in front of a bus and over 300 comments wishing the bus driver would have ran over the protestors and killed them. It was actually insane.
Yeah the attitude on Reddit of using a car as a self defense weapon against protestors really baffled me during the BLM protests. They downvoted me like mad when I said it was cringy and sick for them to get so hyped over clips of it happening
Yeah it's terrible that people wish other people would die due to their beliefs or activism. It's just not necessary and just plain inhumane.
On the other hand I just wish these just stop oil protesters weren't so dumb. I still remember the UK article about them halting a tanker truck. Meanwhile the driver is talking to a news crew saying something along the lines of "Yeah but that's cooking oil"
Then there's the thing about them hiring a hall for a rally and holding a banquet. With plastic cutlery... Like what? You're using oil based shit. At least check yourselves in the mirror before you go out and tell others how to go about things.
A few weeks ago I saw a reddit thread where the general consensus was that microtransactions were ok and even good. How it has changed from its heyday.
