RE: Downvote early, downvote often
Protesting without dialogue (with the sole intent to silence opposition) is harassment, not free speech.

Another interesting thought. Tricky. Weird. Makes me thing whether "democratic" protest is a form of harassment. And it probably is! As I always say: Free speech includes being free to be an ahole, no matter what. How have we learned to be nice to each other without being aholes from time to time? or watch other people being like that? There is no thing like perfection. There is only genius. !BEER
If they have (apparently) no cogent ideas and aren't willing to even speak to anyone from the "opposition" then, YES.
Hm. Still weird. They do go protest when the opposition does not listen, don't they?
And all they are saying is: Don't do force your ideas onto anyone including ME any longer, but force my ideas onto anyone including YOU! Looks like a vicious circle to me. One of the drawbacks of free speech.
Me thinking of this R.E.M. song that goes like "It's the end of the world as WE KNOW IT ... and I feel fine." May it be the more they harass each other, the earlier we can get back to reasonable dialog. No ifs and whens, please, when it comes to politics. Stay logical. !invest_vote
Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.
Protesting should force a conversation, not simply make conversation impossible.
Your opponents are not demons, they're humans.
Well, should is a tricky word. No verb, no adjective. Often times - if not every single freaking time - it is a precursor for things being opposite to what is expected. Speaking of opposition here! Then strangely the "results" leading people to do even more of the same things without wondering why more of what's not working still is not working (me humming R.E.M. again) but brings more of what let people to believe others should do something because of what they expected of doing that in the first place. Weird.
I'd rather say programs. Or zombies. And they are not my opponents. They are each other's opponents. I'm not concerned about zombies. I'm concerned about people who turn into zombies in the moment me or my family/friends are involved and no one had expected them to turn into it (yet).

Good point.
