Hi Kirtsy,

I think that sometimes protesting can be useful. Often I do see it being ineffective when driven by unaddressed psychological issues though.

Have you no idea of the history of the civil rights movement? and the disability rights movement also? Did change not come about because of ‘raising awareness’ (protesting, marching, other actions…) and putting pressure on institutions and people to change? I am utterly stunned by this comment made without making any point of the importance and relevant of certain actions at certain points in time to protest inequality and injustice. Sure – criticise inappropriate channeling of anger and not addressing one’s own inability to self-regulate – but you surely cannot lump all protests and protestors in the same bag. Sometimes we need to protest. sometimes that is important. If you can get away without feeling that is important and respecting the people who protest for important reasons, then i think you need to seriously become aware of your own privileges and use them appropriately. I hope you can respond to this comment. thank you .
