    Funny how I never see this message about right-wing blockades or football games

          It’s hard to say that when you let people mindlessly pass.

          Letters to the editor, pamphlets, peaceful protests with permits, blogs, social media, paid public service announcements…

          Plenty of ways to get your views out there that don’t involve murder.

              Well, none of those work as we can see from their failures.

              Clearly. Legal peaceful protest has never accomplished anything in democracy. Nope. Not once. The only way any law has ever been passed in the nearly hundred democracies across the planet earth is when people block ambulances. That’s it. If you think your government passed some law last week you are mistaken. True on the local level as well. Your town of 1,000 people would love to install a new water fountain in the park but can’t do it until some people block an ambulance. I am and all of democracy is defeated. Rip up all the rules about free speech and protest since not one of them has ever worked in the history of the entire human race!

              Do you have an opinion about anything? Block an ambulance and cause someone to die. Since all other possible means of convincing people won’t work since “Well, none of those work as we can see from their failures.”.

              Does anything else not work? Maybe food doesn’t work and we all should have starved long ago.

                I’m glad we can agree on something!

                  You said that peaceful protest doesn’t work as well. I was addressing that since it is so inaccurate I felt compelled to point that out.

                  Murder is always bad, killing a person is the absolute last option and only to stop them from killing another person immediately, not theoretically, not in decades. If we aren’t able to have moral means to achieve moral ends we don’t deserve moral ends.

                  Your best bet is if you care about these issues is go get employment in the waste/pollution/garbage/environmental sector. Plenty of jobs available, you get to make a difference, the pay is pretty good, and you don’t fucking murder people by blocking ambulances. I have shitty days at work like everyone else, even a shitty day I know I made the world that much cleaner and it was worth it.
