Wrong people are protesting. All they're doing is forcing more lockdowns.
You have people who say fuck it and go out shopping when they've tested positive and should be quarantining. You have people who hold parties and restart waves. Happened in the first lockdown a year or so ago. Lockdown had stopped, but migrants has said fuck it and celebrated the end of Ramadan before the schedules re-open date anyway. Super spreaders in the apartment blocks, so the counts went back up. Here we are a year and a half later.
Antifa are "protesters", too, right? Same shit.
Regular peeps want to get back to a regular life and understand that some consideration is necessary, or they can just stay home, until smart people can come up with an effective plan to stop the government bullshit, but you've got assholes with extended egos trying to justify their decision, or just saying fuck it, who have everyone pissed off.
There's a fuck of a lot more people who hate these assholes than there are protesting.
Can't brainstorm new tactics, since dozens of weeks of protest have produced jackshit, except more lockdowns, because these assholes would find a way to fuck it up if it didn't prove their way "right".
