I piss on a river, but still get fined because it's still damage to the river and what's living there, but it's okay because piss is natural and biodegradable, there's no chemicals that outta harm things if put in large quantities

I’ve literally no idea what you’re trying to say! If you got fined for pissing in a river, it would be for waving your dick around in a public place. Don’t do that!
 
My brother in Christ, you are comparing a temporary eco-friendly dye in already murky waters with a fucking bomb
Still harmful, just because fluorescein is sometimes used to study river flow doesn’t make it harmless in every situation.

Those scientific studies don’t involve activists dumping entire gas canisters of concentrated dye into slow-moving water.

You're still disrupting the photosynthesis of aquatic plants and algae, creating high local concentration spikes because canals don’t mix or flush quickly

Cool, I can accept that idea. It can potentially be a bit harmful for a slight unknown amount of time

Still doesn't make the comparation with terrorism that you just did less silly, neither the protest less worth of attention or effective. It has bad things, every protest has something that could be better on it, you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs

Yeah let's see about that in a week

Maybe I'll be the only one left caring about this situation

Or better yet, another protest damaging a tourist site that makes you happy

It'll make me happy if it results in your getting so worked up over nothing again that's for sure.

The hell did I say this made me happy? I don't really think it has a lot of impact, it tries to but as far as I see it unless some miracles happened we haven't and we never will take the decisions that will prevent our end

Either way I will still defend the right of people to protest, and for all the things they could have done, this is honestly pretty interesting and doesn't harm anyone, at the most is a mild annoyance for the people that came to visit

And it would be quite sad if you still cared about this after a week, ngl

Because there's no tolerance for stupid acts anymore, you've given up, you all have

Defending the right to protest should not defend every method used in protest. Rights come with responsibilities, and deliberately damaging property, even symbolically, is just devaluing your credibility of the cause rather than advancing it.
 
They do this every year in Chicago for St. Patrick's Day. Not a big deal. Just some petty vandalism for attention, i.e. the Greta Thunberg career plan.

This is probably one of the funniest statements I always have to read from people that believe that the only correct ways of doing things is through peace and educated manners.

I really don't have anything else to tell you, but if you are gonna get annoyed every time someone decides to make their voice heard in ways that disrupt the peace, you should probably avoid history books

I will leave you with Sickly, be nice

I think is a bit funny if anything. But I don't know much about Greta, just hear about her from time to time. Honestly I should look more into where she particularly stands

By that you think MLK is stupid? or Gandhi??

Dude he hadn't even been here for a few minutes? You're the not main character, not even me 😭

You want an outro for your departure or something lol??

Yes (No but that requires nuance and more long texts and I'm honestly a bit too caffeinated for that rn)

Amm, actually, Will Wood has already validated me
