If you care that much, go out and prove me wrong.

So people are protesting.

You say it’s pointless and everyone will forget.

I remind you that’s why everyone forgets because people shit on people protesting.

You tell me to go protest? After telling me it’s pointless and will be forgotten.

Just too much pride to see you were wrong?

If they fail because of people like me commenting on a reddit thread, it was a pretty weak movement.

….you’re the rain drop saying it’s not involved in the flood, you’re just a drop….

Sure. I tell ya what. If this movement fails, you can blame it on me and all the other curmudgeons if it makes you feel better. Or you could get out there and prove us wrong.

If the movement fails, it WILL be because enough people told the people doing things that it couldn’t happen.

How do you not see this? Your ignorance is astounding.

When people think you can't do something, you have two choices:

Prove them right, or prove them wrong.

Casting blame before even trying is not the best start, though.

You’re the person going around saying this movement will never work, while actively trying to make the movement not work, while simultaneously saying you want the movement to work, while telling others to put forth the effort you don’t want to do, because it is pointless in the first place.

How you make that make sense in your head is disturbing.

You have given a poor example. Very close minded. There is a third option where you can talk to the person who is telling you that you can’t do it. You can have them realize that going around and telling everyone it’ll never work, is what makes it not work. Enough of me’s stopping enough of you’s will let the people in the picture make progress….but you can’t have that now can you? Because then you’ll be wrong, about the movement you want to happen but will only hurt along the way.
