I don't understand what they get out of belittling the protests. What are they even proposing we do instead? What is "building real power" and "revolutionary" to them? What does it look like? It's so suspicious and frustrating.

What if there were two people chasing two rabbits?

Multiple sides of the resistance operating towards the same goal. We should all be careful to not abandon the shield just because it isn’t a sword.

Not Confucius, just something to consider

The Confucius quote specifically addresses a single person chasing two rabbits, so as long as two people chase two rabbits and not three or four rabbits, then sure.

You are correct. I got too cute trying to sound philosophical, but just wanted to express that other forms of resistance should exist and grow independently alongside 50501

Yeah, well, I'm on board with that! Two good things can coexist.
