> you only think it's entitled and arrogant because you don't understand that protestors are protesting for people who don't have a voice, who's pleas fall on deaf ears like your own. your conception of protest is something an individual does to advance their own personal cause, so of course you only conceive of it as selfish - because you yourself do it for selfish reasons.

You really sullied what was otherwise a very powerful comment with this unnecessary and unfair personal attack against GP.

In some ways this is an interesting microcosm of the activism we're discussing, where people take a worthy and often powerful cause, and self-sabotage it by being arrogant, condescending, and rude to the people they are trying to convert.
