Yah.



So far, every suggestion you have offered for improvement is one that would remove the discomfort from people who supported the system being protested. It's not possible to have an effective protest you would consider to not toxic.



Yes, very much so.



No matter what the protest is, people who wish to avoid discussing the reason for the protest will object to the protest actions. You may have missed this somehow, but kneeling is an act of *respect*. You kneel before a monarch, you traditionally kneel when proposing, Catholics kneel in church. The *only* reason Kapernick's kneeling was interpreted as an insult is because it was for racial justice.

So yes, it turned people off, but only because it was a public protest, and people didn't want to see any sort of protest.



I do have the right to tell that Mom that kneeling is an act of respect, and ask her what it is about respecting her child's sacrifice that upsets her.

With broad strokes like this about DM, it's no surprise that you are wrong about everyone/everything else.

You never see him involved here anymore.

Do you think he's simply going to switch out stroking local Utah fanbases for similar somewhere else?

His disappointment is in the antebellum mindset that continues to thrive within his own country, he isn't hanging all of this on just Utah. You're just taking it that way because apparently you like it that way.

I have a toxic approach to this

Perhaps the only true thing you have said in this thread. The rest is an incredible gathering of self-deluded garbage.
 
In online discussion, there's Goodwin's law. I think there needs to be a name for when a thread reaches 10+ pages, it's invariable 2-3 people arguing back and forth about something that doesn't pertain at all to the OP. Game threads become a good example of this, but this is a pretty strong trend.

I think my frustration lies in the fact. He could have been a real difference here, and instead took a close minded toxic approach that did nothing but make people stop listening to important issues he could have made serious in roads on in the state. Instead of being level headed about the fact people would disagree he took a toxic approach. All Donovan’s approach is, is yelling into an echo chamber and changing no minds. Then he throws a fit or gets butthurt when things get rough or people don’t fully agree with him. He really thought getting involved in politics would have no backlash? Or pushing social justice in the way he approached it wouldn’t have some people who disagreed? And then made his approach overtly political? And now he’s just checked out as far as his feelings about being here. It’s obvious. He’s actually probably less fake than I’ve thought of him. He can’t hide his feelings of not liking it here anymore. So he probably truly did mean what he said earlier in his career of liking it here, but he has absolutely let social media comments and stuff shape the way he thinks and his opinion of being here at this point, and he doesn’t like it anymore.

You’re the lowliest version of a troll.
 
Thought I’d put this here. Rudy would’ve fit in well in the 90’s. No one outside of France or the jazz seem to like Gobert. Lol. Embiid doesn’t think Gobert should’ve made all nba over him

Embiid’s own words.

“I agree that Anthony Davis had a better season than me. [Nikola] Jokic? That's debatable. But Rudy Gobert? No offense, but he [averaged] 15 [points] and 13 [rebounds] and I had my 23 and 12, and that's kind of a big difference. I think my numbers were better. But people didn't want to vote for me because our team didn't do well.”
Hollow numbers is what Embiid was. In the end Gobert carries his team which is why he’s all nba and you’re not, he’s simply better!!!!
