I do not charge for subscriptions any longer, and my writing is free to all, but if you are interested in supporting me and my work, I would very much welcome the one-time or occasional cup of coffee. You can buy me one here. Thank you! Last Wednesday,
There's peaceful protests and there's outright harassment, not only of the targeted individuals, but of everyone who shares geographic space with them (next door neighbors, random restaurant patrons, innocent residents of a care home). It's just a matter of time before one of these innocent bystanders can't tolerate the cacophony and snaps resulting in injury or death of one of these so-called protestors. Count me in the number of people who will agree we all saw it coming. There's a time and place for everything. If one views herself as a revolutionary, she should prepare to die.
Great essay. I agree it won’t change minds and in fact such harassment is indeed counterproductive to actually rectifying injustice. A real protest is another thing.
