>Not everyone is going to agree with your civil disobedience actions

No, but those who don't support, say, MLK Jr., deserve to be shamed for their regressive attitude.

Practically speaking, the forces of regression are always louder and stronger than the voices for progress. But if we don't denounce and shame those regressive voices, then the voices for progress end up feeling so alone and unloved.

The truth about HN is that there are a lot of selfish, money-grubbing, right-wing people here who would happily shit all over Aaron because Aaron was a left-wing activist.

It's not okay to let these regressive, conservative figures steal the spotlight. If you don't support Aaron's actions, you don't deserve civility. You are beneath contempt and deserve to be spat on, insulted, publically humiliated, like any common racist, bigot, anti-abolitionist, or Ancieme Regime blue blood. Right-wingers simply deserve shame and mockery and if progressive people would hold the conservatives in our midst to standards of human decency, then those conservatives wouldn't be winning the day and our most powerful and successful left-wing activists like Aaron would be less likely to kill themselves.

Aaron literally sacrificed himself for the sake of the species and the response from HN was "fuck Aaron. What did he ever do to help MY bottom line?"

These right-wing assholes on HN should be shamed just like we used to shame racists, sexists, eugenicists, Nazis.


This is so deranged that I can't tell if it's a parody of HN's reaction to this turn of events or a serious post.


did you confuse the words "civil disobedience" with "the civil rights movement"?

Otherwise I have no idea how you would make this jump in your mind.
