In this article he equates military strikes on infrastructure during war efforts with these protests and claims they have the same goals. Painfully stupid 😑
Didn't the freedom convoy shut down highways? Wasn't a goal of the DC beltway protest to disrupt traffic? Any bets in the next few years there will be a bunch of conservatives throwing some sort of collective temper tank tantrum and shutting down major through ways somewhere?
This is all just code for they hate liberals and want the ability to kill them freely.
screaming death threats at people at planned parenthood is protesting.
peacefully stopping traffic is terrorism.
learn your scriptures

I mean, "minor inconveniences are terrorism" is a pretty consistent take from Walsh. He also complains about dogs (which led me to discover r/dogfree and.....blech), men showing emotions, airplanes, not being able to say the n-word, etc.
I'm 100% pro-protest, but you damn well better target your protest in a way that doesn't alienate a significant portion of the population that you are trying to bring to your side.
You better not protest in a way that puts lives and important medical treatments at risk, or your protest goals are 100% moot.
I agree, but if a protest is inflicted on enough people for a long enough period of time, some if not many of those people are going to feel as if they are being terrorized by the protest, especially those whose lives are put at significant risk.
Which these protesters are not directly inflicting violence on people, and will not be able to do this for a long period of time due to our law enforcement infrastructure
The point of protest is to be disruptive to folk’s daily life so that it cannot be ignored.
I do think the access for ambulances is a good point, yeah.
But protest is supposed to be in your face and inconvenient.
> I do think the access for ambulances is a good point, yeah.
This is such a stupid point to make. Some protesters will let ambulances by, and in most cases, there is more than one way to get to the hospital that isn't a main throughfare.
Sure it may upset people but calling them terrorists for doing something like this is exclusively a political tool to encourage violence and the use of deadly force
Yeah, I'm gonna be real it could be pro-Trump, pro-Palestine, pro-choice, pro-puppies, whatever, I have no respect or support for people that do this shit. Make your point, march, etc., but don't fucking detain me to do it.
I don't even care if the protest blocks off a street, but to block a bridge or other closed avenue where the people you've caught have no way to back out and leave is fucking vile.
The irony of saying this in regards to any protest he disagrees with, as compared to when all those dumbass truckers were protesting and literally making cities inaccessible to the best of their ability.
Matt Walsh is a simple man who hates everything, even himself. He oozes in his own public loathing like a smug dick he is, and it’s no use trying to watch him pleasure his self-righteous, misanthropic self.
If they can convince their readers that disrupting traffic for a couple hours is just as bad as looking people, then their readers will be okay with killing anyone that disrupts traffic.
Whatever the punishment for protestors blocking the street should be, it should also be the same for those who block bike lanes and sidewalks with their car. Blocking traffic is blocking traffic.
I didn’t say you can’t do it, I just pointed out the well established fact that you’re having the opposite effect of what you intended. Plus why are you protesting random people in traffic rather than the specific people who make the decisions on sending weapons to Israel? Block entry to Congress or something else that doesn’t turn potentially sympathetic people against you

Yeah and “targeting infrastructure” means you make it so it’s never able to be used again. Not causing a traffic jam for a couple of hours.
In this article he equates military strikes on infrastructure during war efforts with these protests and claims they have the same goals. Painfully stupid 😑
Didn't the freedom convoy shut down highways? Wasn't a goal of the DC beltway protest to disrupt traffic?

That's. Wow. Take away all devices he owns for the safety of anyone he doesn't like.
The military carries rifles, the Gravy seals are carrying rifles. Me thinks they might be terrorists
Yesterday I saw a black woman buying groceries, I’m pretty sure she’s trying to starve us out through attrition
I’ve actually heard someone try to argue that in absolute dead set sincerity once.
Sounds like protestors should start destroying highways, since apparently it's all the same regardless.
Pretty positive that all these assholes supported the convoys set to block traffic in canada and the usa wow they might just be hypocrites
It’s clear there are tons of people who don’t understand what a protest is
They understand what a protest but they just don’t believe in protest
screaming death threats at people at planned parenthood is protesting. peacefully stopping traffic is terrorism. learn your scriptures *wipes ass with american flag*
Or terrorism. Mildly inconvenienced on the way to buy a Costco 120 pack of butt wipes? You were terrorized.
Or what targeting infrastructure means lol Matt they aren’t bombing roadways or bridges
They do understand, this is just "the only moral abortion is my abortion" argument
Shutting down streets for anti covid lockdowns etc is totally cool though
So peaceful protest is terrorism now? What were MLK and Gandhi?
What’s the AltRight saying about MLK nowadays?

So by this logic January 6th was a terrorist attack, Right Matt?
“Freedom of speech absolutists” when free speech minority inconveniences them in any way.
He would called the Boston tea party terrorism
Ahhhh, so the freedum truckers who shut down highways should have been sent to GITMO. Got it.
I'm 100% pro-protest, but you damn well better target your protest in a way that doesn't alienate a significant portion of the population that you are trying to bring to your side.

This is a fair assessment, however equating that with terrorism remains problematic
I agree, but if a protest is inflicted on enough people for a long enough period of time, some if not many of those people are going to feel as if they are being terrorized by the protest, especially those whose lives are put at significant risk.
Which these protesters are not directly inflicting violence on people, and will not be able to do this for a long period of time due to our law enforcement infrastructure
Restricting a person's freedom of movement is violence. The amount of time is immaterial.
The point of protest is to be disruptive to folk’s daily life so that it cannot be ignored. I do think the access for ambulances is a good point, yeah. But protest is supposed to be in your face and inconvenient.
> I do think the access for ambulances is a good point, yeah. This is such a stupid point to make. Some protesters will let ambulances by, and in most cases, there is more than one way to get to the hospital that isn't a main throughfare.
Hey thanks for the correction!
Sure it may upset people but calling them terrorists for doing something like this is exclusively a political tool to encourage violence and the use of deadly force
Yeah, I'm gonna be real it could be pro-Trump, pro-Palestine, pro-choice, pro-puppies, whatever, I have no respect or support for people that do this shit.

In other words don't stoop to Just Stop Oil style protesting
If this is terrorism then what do we call people who deliberately murder 12,000 children?
And they’ll say Jan six was a peaceful protest
"They're just standing there...menacingly!" _-Matt, probably_
Treasonous rioters who lay siege to the Capitol aren't "tourists", they're terrorists.
What an absolute moron
To right wing media it just depends on “who” is protesting… https://youtu.be/qQIX-Z5MFQk?si=Wk3r22tUipZiPriL
The point behind a protest is to disrupt.
Dude would definitely call Dr. King and all of those people who wanted to be able to vote terrorists as well. matt walsh is less than worthless.
/r/PublicFreakout freakout loves to shit on these protests because they are being inconvenienced.
So… what’s his opinion on January 6th again?
The irony of saying this in regards to any protest he disagrees with, as compared to when all those dumbass truckers were protesting and literally making cities inaccessible to the best of their ability.
Words are meaningless when you’re MAGA.
What a deeply evil thing to say
Ok so the trucker convoys the right propped up as heroes are terrorists now?
Matt Walsh is a simple man who hates everything, even himself. He oozes in his own public loathing like a smug dick he is, and it’s no use trying to watch him pleasure his self-righteous, misanthropic self.
And January 6th was just a peaceful protest right? Fuck off Matt. I you cant convince me that this man actually believes his own bullshit.
He’s so God damn dumb.
If they can convince their readers that disrupting traffic for a couple hours is just as bad as looking people, then their readers will be okay with killing anyone that disrupts traffic.
Being on the road for a few hours = terrorism Storming the capitol building = just good ol' fashioned free speech
Whatever the punishment for protestors blocking the street should be, it should also be the same for those who block bike lanes and sidewalks with their car. Blocking traffic is blocking traffic.
I thought they loved the trucker protests? Does this apply to the terrorists walking down Pennsylvania Avenue on Jan 6, 2021?
We should just run over them
Can you imagine how limp and moist this dude’s handshake is? /shudder
He thinks he must look so smart in front of his audience, using words and all
Let's talk about the Tea Party 😂
Blocking traffic to spread a message doesn’t get the intended effect that people want it to. In fact it’s typically the opposite
I'm so sorry. Let's confer with the Ministry of Appropriate Peaceful Protesting to see how those we're protesting against would like us to protest.
I didn’t say you can’t do it, I just pointed out the well established fact that you’re having the opposite effect of what you intended. Plus why are you protesting random people in traffic rather than the specific people who make the decisions on sending weapons to Israel? Block entry to Congress or something else that doesn’t turn potentially sympathetic people against you
But it’s not terrorism
Agreed, it’s not terrorism, it’s just counterproductive
