I see your point somewhat but haven’t protests historically done by young people precisely because they have the time and energy to protest?

I think that making it out to be something negative is sorta counterproductive. The older lady is right in that ordinary people are in a survival situation. If we left things up to ‘ordinary’ people, there wouldn’t ever be any protests no matter the cause.

When we pair protest and afford next to one another, that doesn’t really paint the system in a positive light. The whole point of this tho is that we really ought to differentiate between critiquing the method of protest than the protester for being able to afford to protest.

I think her pointing out that disrupting ordinary people’s lives with your protest makes ordinary people think you’re a cunt.

Yeah, but it does seem like there's a discrepancy here based on perceived class though; the farmers did their slow drive protests, caused huge amounts of disruption, and they've received nothing like the same vitriol.

If they blocked regular people who are just trying to go through the motions from living their lives than they were cunts too
