A new form of protest sweeping the world by storm. Destined to bring the power of change by being out of the way, quiet and not inconveniencing anyone.

It's kind of funny how people take the Meyers-Briggs thing so seriously when most (all) of the questions are about as thought out as the questions in a "which game of thrones character are you" quiz on facebook.

My boss asked if I wanted to take a multi-session workshop on management and leadership skills. Session one was all about taking the Myers-Briggs test and analyzing the results. I said no.

It's useful in that "some people process the world differently than yourself" can be novel information for some folks. :aaa: A TJ trying to beep boop a FP isn't going to get anywhere, and they will both be frustrated by the attempt. The type framework can provide tools for interacting with others.


It only becomes insufferable when people try to adopt their 'type' as a special snowflake identity and excuse for any bad behavior.

That annoys me even more because I can 100% see the dickbag excuses for police attacking them as well "Well, you see a bunch of people just standing there, you're not gonna think they're gonna attack?"

"Protesters are blocking people from walking, inconvenience doesn't help your struggle!"

Look guys I'm all for gay rights but ugh you're making my walk to Taco Bell slightly less convenient!

Also loving LOL at "more efficient protesting".

That just tells me it's written by the worst kind of dork who has literally no understanding of history of how change happens.

A friend of mine gave me a Trump mask because she didn't think it fit well on her so I got the whole costume. This is someone who didn't vote, of course.

I doubt this would work simply because potential protestors will be bored. It's hard to get people upset enough to get off the couch and attend a protest at all. The shouting and being naughty ads a bit of excitement. And getting all amped up from the energy of the crowd can be a kind of high. You're doing Good, but you're also being entertained.

"Lets all stand quietly like we're waiting for the bus, except without looking at our phones" isn't going to be a big draw.

why do you think "non-violent protesting" and "not inconveniencing anyone" are synonyms, do you just not know anything about the history of protest movements and the meanings of common words and phrases or what

people standing in the road is a non-violent protest and it inconveniences people, which is the point

Serious question: Are there 'extrovert' groups for the special snowflakes that don't like being told to sit down and shut up?

"Stop trying to shame me for being an extrovert! I will scream and run around and tell loud stories about myself at Granny's funeral if I like, it's all part of who I am. You're just like the rest of the into-normies. you don't understand."

The guy who made that, if he lived in the during the Civil Right's Movement: "UGH Wow, just taking seats even though you're not being served anything?

"You should protest in a way that doesn't inconvenience me and that I can easily ignore." Brought to you by the group that thought that silently kneeling during the national anthem was an unacceptable form of protest.

But they are the rarest of snowflakes, the small fraction of asocial dorks who are so inept they can't grasp that their more social friends already pick up on and have consideration for their need to be alone sometimes, but aren't too petrified to never leave the house.

The alt-right's been pretty amped up about it for the last couple years. Breitbart and Joe Walsh appear to get decent traffic every year complaining about people doing literally anything other than going to church on Easter Sunday, and I remember people whining last year about Cadbury's eggs not having "Easter egg" printed on the package (they do). Apparently this year instead of "Easter isn't printed on the package!" it's people not understanding what "halal" means. :rolleyes:

That said, that EasterWatch twitter is mocking the "war on Easter" people, not contributing to it.
