    Yeah, a phone company is never never never going to alienate customers like that. And the power dynamics in that situation are quite different. If you’re looking to suss out the limits of what I think about this than you’ve done it. I 100% agree people shouldn’t come to physical harm. Again, that’s quite a different situation than the one described in the article though.

      You say a phone company won’t do that, but protestors blocked ambulances. Where is the line drawn?

      And it’s okay that there’s no end to the interruption to daily lives so long as no one is hurt.

      Again, I wonder how you’d like a 20-30 minutes lecture in the middle of a movie you paid for. Or an interruption of a conversation you were having with a friend or loved one.

      It’s all in the name of protest you know. So… you HAVE to accept it.

        2 minute statement before the performance, 30 minute lecture in the middle of a performance, totally the same thing.

        I don’t have to like it, That’s literally my point. Let’s try this, rather than try to find my line, which I’ve already said was somewhere around causing bodily harm to uninvolved people, what do YOU think is an appropriate form of protest? It seems like that’s what you’re trying to get off your chest in a round about way.

          Any priest that doesn’t inconvenience anyone as a method of gaining attention is appropriate. Because if you have to get in my way to make me see your point-

          You have no point worthy of my attention.

          I’m not aware of all the things happening in the world because of assholes that tell and shout at me. I’m aware because I pay attention.
