    A bitter smell radiates from this response as if I am am the root cause to your issue here.

    You demanded my opinion and I shared what I percieve to be the better solution. I agree that it takes more time and effort but thats the way to prevent a bunch of billionaires making a slave out of us. If you seek for everyone to agree with you than freedom of speech is nothing but a phrase in the dictionary.

      Incorrect. You’re in here criticizing people actually taking action, from your armchair warrior position, admitting to not actually doing anything yourself, because… reasons.

      Nobody is saying these protests are going to solve everything. Not by a long shot. But they are one of the things people can do right now that will help. Evidence? Tesla stock is down 33% in the last month, and over 50% since December. That’s hurting Muskrat directly, as evidenced by Trump shilling for Tesla from the Whitehouse.

      You introduced the virus vs symptom treatment analogy. Well how about this. If you have a disease, and the only medication available to you at the moment only treats the symptoms, then you still take that medicine. You work towards getting a medication that will treat the disease, but in the meantime, you don’t turn down the one you have now, or criticize others for taking it.
