Nothing about how this was presented is genuine though, and that’s my point.

And plenty have done more. People are constantly martyred fighting back, in part because they have been actually willing to die for their cause. Any one of them could have been used as a more authentic representation of resistance than this… and have more of an impact because it’s not a cherry-picked, out-of-context fabrication.

I realize we’re post-truth, but jeez.

I realize that. But there are countless current examples of real resistance and sacrifice that could have been used instead.

Good intentions and all, but the full video context (the vehicle just keeps going and the blocker moves out of the way after several seconds of nudging) makes this a terrible example that only reinforces the sense of futility, in my opinion.

Not saying not to stand and fight, but this isn’t the posterchild to use.
