Please acknowledge the smug petulant tone of your comments here.

Do you think my tone is out-of-place in the context of this discussion from the other participants? Are you giving them a pass but for some reasons holding me to higher standard of discussion?

The other guy said that sternly worded signs don’t change much.

That’s not what he said. He said “bunch of stupid fucking signs isn’t going to cut it.” Does that not carry the voice of condescension or being smug?

I feel the same way. There are few people in positions to affect change right now—namely our politicians and other people of high social status such as celebrities or athletes, yet they’re as comfy as anyone.

Well, you’re welcome to your opinion, and apparently, your inaction just like that person. If you don’t think protesting is going to make a difference, you don’t have to protest. That’s your right, even if I disagree with you about your responsibility as a citizen to make your voice heard in our democracy (assuming you’re American). However, telling me to be silent doesn’t seem very useful or logical. This is especially true when I’m not seeing any other action advocated by them or you except the idea of “don’t protest”.

If other guy were actually planning any substantial resistance, this is not the place to share it.

Wait, so you’re saying the appropriate action is to go from absolutely no public protests to something so big that you fear substantial retaliation by the government? You’re going to go from 0-100 MPH (or km/h as we’re also talking about Canada here) with nothing in between?

You are nipping at the people on your own side like a dumb little anklebiting dog

Did you forget the starting point of this conversation was the person saying “bunch of stupid fucking signs isn’t going to cut it.”? Is there a reason that that gets a free pass by you, but a response to that doesn’t?

and deserve a kick for it.

That sounds rather smug doesn’t it? So is that now okay too? Whats with all of your double standards?
