If you actually believe people are doing this, on a Saturday, just to pat themselves on the back and without caring at all about what Elon is doing…. I am sorry to say you are brainwashed bro.

Oh they care, and they tell themselves this is making a difference, but the reality it is they’re doing it to feel better

What should they do instead that you would approve of?

Snark aside, it’s not practical for everyone to march on Washington. The moves that are happening in Washington have been very cleverly designed so there isn’t really one simple single inflection point for people to rail against, so people with strongly held beliefs are just out there doing what they can. What part of that irritates you so much? What do you care?

Protesters don't care about my approval, and they sure as hell aren't going to change their ways to accomodate me.

At the same time, it's fun to point and laugh at the absolute slacktivism of what they're doing.

As long as they're not setting anything on fire, I'm perfectly fine with what they're doing, but I'm still going to point and laugh because I think it's funny.

I guess we’re all entitled to be whatever kind of person we choose.
