      I’m one drop in the wave, and have no search for authority over others.

      So, what do you think?

      BTW, I’ve already been in the front of those waves. I got suck up lots of tears gas, and more than one truncheon strike…

        I’m not accusing you of trying to gain power over others. I’m accusing you of volunteering others to risk their lives for a cause, while you sit behind your keyboard.

        So, what do you think?

        Creating is harder to do than destroying, so I tend to push back when someone advocates for destroying something, versus preserving what’s already been created.

        What some people so easily opine as something that should be done first and foremost, is something I would say should only be done last, after all other options have been tried.

        BTW, I’ve already been in the front of those waves. I got suck up lots of tears gas, and more than one truncheon strike…

        Normally I would respond to something like this with a ‘citation required’ reply, but I understand one not wanting to dox themself online, so I won’t do so.

        Having said that, if you are being truthful, then I would expect you to be advocating straightforwardly and more forcefully for what you want, and be willing to lead it, and not just suggest others do it in your stead, which is what your initial comment appeared to be doing (with my apologies if that’s incorrect, but that is the impression that I got).
