One is an act of protest and the other is an act of hate.

And the underlying message of one is that we should love different people, while the message of the other is that we should hate and fear different people.

People who think it’s just “bad” to criticize their government don’t know the difference between their government and their mommy.

Yeah, it’s a similar sort of immaturity where good boys and girls don’t question what they’re told. (Emphasis these days on “boys and girls only” am I right?)

I think reasonable adults understand that everybody and everything are flawed. It’s how you react to them that matters. People deserve compassion and understanding from the get-go, and they have the right to just exist. Governments and companies start in no such place, and they have a much lower threshold before they should be told to fix their shit.

It’s nice to have my initial reaction immediately validated upon opening the thread, for better or for worse, I gotta say.

Of course. The people with the problem seeing the left picture are the people on the right.

Genuine thought experiment: if the kneeling was done by an extremely autistic person, would more or less people have a problem with it?
