  Except for your first sentence, I would agree with you. Protest somewhere the ruling class can see you.

  Don’t hurt people directly though. The point of protesting is to shame leaders into change. Starting a war helps no one.

    You seem to be assuming I meant some sort of unlawful harm. My phrasing was quite deliberate: I advocated no specific actions whatsoever. You brought “hurt people” and “starting a war” into this conversation; not I.

    The choice of what actions to take is left to you; I am not involving myself in that decision. My advocacy is strictly limited to the choice of targets: Do not take direct action against ICE agents. They are merely a distraction from the problem class. Redirect any action you might choose to take against ICE to the people getting rich while the rest of us starve.

    I will raise one point:

    The point of protesting is to shame leaders into change.

    Our leaders are shameless. There is no point in trying to shame the shameless. The purpose of protesting must be something else. Otherwise, protesting is pointless.

    Just to be clear, is shitting on someone’s lawn hurting them?

    shame leaders into change.

    They have no shame.
