    This guy has no idea what nuance is.

    The Boxers lead a rebellion in China and failed horribly, accelerating the very thing they were trying to stop. Guess rebellings is bad too.

    What a bad faith argument.

      I don’t think it means it is bad, it could just do nothing, but dissenting online is the easiest nothing you could do

        This is an example of where it didn’t do nothing, it actually made things much worse.

        Dissenting online is, believe it or not, how people become aware of issues and know they’re not alone in how they feel. It’s a precursor to actual events, like we’ve seen.
