Do you remember when their protest outside the HQ of BP made the news? Me neither, but I’m sure the high rollers on their 6, 7, 8 figure salaries felt terribly inconvenienced!
I don’t have to agree with their methods or their ideology to recognise their right to protest. We’re talking about dyed cornstarch here, it’s not like they blew the thing up.
Devils advocate:
If you’re known as a guy that loves Pokémon cards and people keep gifting you Weedle’s (one of the lowest powered and most common cards in the game), then after a while you’re going to be like “thanks guys, I know you want to gift me and to not just throw the card away, but these are worth literally nothing to me because I already have much nicer examples and I don’t need/want/have room for them, I’d just be throwing them away myself”.
