Disrupting wage slaves and targeting Chinese businesses... How rude!

Civil disobedience, protests and petitions are not cutting it in this day and age. So now people are demanding the support of business. I don't agree with trashing business, because that is counterintuitive to the cause but supporting business who agrees and boycotting those who do not is best practice.



The best way to make decent stand on issues is to support the business and people who agree with your cause. When you ignore or boycott business who oppose your stance, if the your stance is good. the opposing side will eventually turn to popular opinion or suffer the consequences of opposition.


No matter the cause, you need support of the people to make change. You cannot just expect the world to turn on your opinion because you protest with a cause.

I agree with you, but this is far from civil disobedience... this is a criminal uprising. I wonder what China will do next?

Oh yes, it is criminal. I agree with simply supporting and boycotting, NOT attacking the businesses.


What will China do??? Now that is interesting. They appear to be setting up for more serious action. Seems no matter what happens Trump is going to use this against them and pretend it is for the betterment of the people. Ignoring the obvious of Trump, Thus we will see greater problems with the China-US trade war. The continued escalation of this issue between China and America will no doubt see world economic downturn. Somehow, I think Trump set the world to fail and is busy twitting how it is somebody else's fault.


BUT that is my opinion, I stand to be corrected or proven wrong.
