I found out that on Reddit people go there and ask things like this (someone asked recently): "My girlfriend and I are looking for something to do. Are there any protests going on today we can go to?"

Can you imagine people actually searching things out like that? These "people voicing concerns" are like that. Someone has to find something to be enraged about for the sake of finding something to do.

Or people are concerned about living in a surveillance state and wish to protest that or some other issue. Why downplay legitimate societal concerns?

So instead of drinking or shopping they want to support a cause?

My god how do they live with themselves.

Can you imagine people actually believing a post on Reddit, and then extrapolating that to everybody who is going to a protest?

What an absurd take.
