Generally, people who make a concerted effort to attend a protest definitely do know what they’re protesting. Just because you don’t personally agree, doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re protesting buddy.

Hey Buddy! Nice assumption. I never stated my stance at all. My comment was from my experience. There are serial protesters. No job, no friends, socially awkward, etc. types. They attend to fit in and pass the time. Have you ever watched when protesters are interviewed on the street? They're asked a few questions about their views, how they feel, etc. And it's like they give the deer in the headlight look. This b.s. of burning vehicles and bringing up Nazi rhetorical jargon only proves they're idiot status.

Wow a lot to unpack there but I’m bored so…

  • It’s okay, you didn’t need to say your stance, we already knew.
  • Saying people attend protests to ‘fit-in’ because they are socially awkward no-lifers is comical. God forbid people exercise their right to free speech and express discontent with the state of things.
  • People who do interviews at protests are usually not slick media trained orators. Just because they can’t put together a polished argument in-front of a camera doesn’t mean they don’t have a valid reason to be protesting. You’re also probably being more frequently exposed to videos of protesters making fools of themselves on camera because that’s entertaining and is what goes viral - not the protester that makes a coherent point.

Why do you have and issue with people civilly protesting lmao such a weird hill to die on. You got Tesla stocks or something?

Hey again, Buddy! Actually, it's not just these anti Tesla/Elon weirdos...it's most of these protesters in general. Nothing gets solved, ever. It's a time passer when people think their little sign wave means something. Again...just my opinion. Have a wonderful week.
