    Civil disobedience for the sake of it is just stupid. When we retroactively look at civil disobedience in history, we intentionally filter out the vast majority and just highlight the few examples that we’re done in ethical ways, for the right causes, and achieved results. Civil disobedience is not a virtue nor is it uncommon. What actually matters are the motivations, principles, and methods used behind the civil disobedience.

      Trying to say that all the ones that failed did it wrong instead of realizing that no matter what if you succeed or fail they’re only going to elevate the ‘right’ moments and demonize the ‘wrong’ ones based on the needs of the ruling class.
