Ah... The moral high ground... A winning strategy...
Ok, you go ahead and commit arson in front of a cop. Come back and let us know how it turned out.
At no point do I imply that is the correct course of action, but it's also not helpful to constantly berate actual acts of resistance all the damn time pretending that it's from the moral high ground when you know damn well the line between the two is just a matter of privilege.
I have to admit I'm not smart enough to understand this statement. Can you explain it a little more?
Sorry I'm late, I was just going back over my comments cause I was bored. But what they are saying is that you should not berate/argue/diminish acts of resistance, because there is a cumulative effect that both deters & minimizes them. So me saying "you go ahead and do it" makes them less frequent and/or celebrated(which they should be).
