    I’ve been stuck in exactly one protest-caused traffic backup in my entire life. But I’ve been stuck in backups for: crashes, rush hour, road construction, trains, sportsball matches, concerts, sausage festivals, triathlons, university dorm move-in, and even crews painting the lane lines, more times than I could even begin to count.

    Why no tears for the poor wage slaves being stuck with the shittiest of transportation systems when it’s experiencing its usual failures?

      Really not that hard a concept.

        If you’re talking about the automobile-based transportation system, yes, I agree that it does not work, but I disagree that it is not a hard concept. It doesn’t seem like it should be, but it is. It should be gobsmackingly obvious that it doesn’t work based on simple observations through the windshield, yet so many people just can’t grasp it. As for disruptive protest, the case is not so straightforward, and many people will argue that it’s the only form of protest that actually works.

            you do realize that you saying it over and over again while plugging your ears doesn’t magically make it true, right? and that people generally just consider this behaviour childish, right?
