The Catch 22 Of Protesting

'Thousands march against lockdown in Sydney'

Barely a mask to be seen & a bunch of signs cribbed from protests in other countries over the last 18 months or so... the usual drivel about personal freedoms & vaccine paranoia

How to prolong a lockdown: Walk, without a mask, in close proximity to thousands of people from infectious areas of town, ( Read more... )

It's the arrogance I get angry about... There's no excuse, in a so-called 'First World' country, for ignorance - the educational opportunities are readily available for your benefit. But to proudly wallow in your lack of knowledge & worse, to dress it up as some expression of freedom...

As a Sydneysider, I can tell you that the vast majority of residents are absolutely FUROUS at these stupid, selfish people...

Like most people, I understand the right to protest, but in this current climate (we're experience a huge surge and outbreak of the COVID delta variant), it is neither the time nor place to protest.

And they're just doing it for the sake of doing it... Most people just marched to be "cool" and post on their social media...

Going through and seeing all the anger, I'm pleased that the majority of people are pissed off at the sheer stupidity of these people...

Like you, I live in Sydney... & have had my work shut down for the last couple of weeks as this has escalated

The people at that protest &, probably, the one they're planning for this weekend, look like the same calibre of superfluous humanity that latched onto the G8 protests & the Occupy movement a couple of years ago & you're right - it's just so they can look cool. There's certainly no real agenda being proposed, no credible alternative science or facts offered, just the same old, 2nd hand sloganeering & baseless gainsaying of established science... And punching horses

I do love the irony that the idiots' social media posts from the march are now being used to identify them. How cool is that?!?
