In my feeds, I’ve mostly seen people attacking those who don’t cheer (look at the replies in just this thread *).
I wish that enthusiasm was used for nonviolent direct action over the years, but too few could be bothered. I wish I was optimistic the enthusiasm now would miraculously make a difference.
I wasn’t even attacking those who are cheering. I was saying I’m not into it, but the replies are people who feel threatened by this perspective.
* edit: Oh, here’s a great example. But it’s probably my fault for expressing a nuanced view.
No one said ypu were required to cheer. A whole lot of people are insisting golks don’t, though. You’re free to stay in your lane.
