I’m just over here amazed that anyone expects me to be excited at this pointless, performative nonsense. People can’t eat in this country, but folks honestly expect me to pump my fist that someone plopped a sticker on a gas pump.
And yes, there are better uses for the money being spent on it. If you have money to spend on this crap, make better choices with it.
You’re operating in black and white in a world of grays, bud. I already stated the catharsis and swaying minds and public shaming, and your response is pretty much “food banks or bust.”
I know dogmatism when I see it, so have a good one.
There’s also the matter of protests not being intended to make onlookers “fist pump” or be excited. They’re SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable, they’re supposed to make people upset or inconvenience their day, or else they can just be ignored. What’s the point of just making people happy or go about their day? That’s not a protest, that’s just doing random shit like every other day.
Reminding anyone who drives a car why their gas prices are so high and who is responsible for that, is not a pointless gesture.
Also, how would it be performative if literally no one knows who put the sticker there? Isn’t the whole point of performativism specifically to garner approval?
