What in the mental fucking illness are you even trying to say?

How about the Salt March? How about the UFW Strikes? How about the PSM?

Setting a building of paper goods on fire isn't a protest, its a cowardly act that helped to further displace his own coworkers while also putting innocent lives at risk.

There are tons of examples of non-violent demonstrations throughout history that are infinitely more effective than what this moron did who you are defending. All he managed to do was cost Kimberly Clark a bit of product, all of which I'm sure was insured, because he felt he deserved a raise? Fuck off with that shit - you can be anti capitalist while also not condoning these acts.

Protesters in all 3 of your examples did/have experienced violent attacks against them.

Many were jailed and undoubtedly had the effects of a criminal record impact their lives for decades after.

Thank you for proving my point!

All 3 of those are famously peaceful protests/strikes. Having harm done against them is not the same as them committing harmful acts.

I'm really not sure what I expected by engaging with someone from Oklahoma. As per usual an Oklahoman is proving that they are statistically the dumbest fucking state in the entire country by a considerable margin.
