That's surprising; I don't think that was intentional. I'll check it out. -

@douglasawh What is? -

I think at this point the only fair thing to do is call an election. -

Absolutely. And if you're in the middle of a crowd wearing red squares, it's very hard to believe that you're not in the majority. -

But this is a case where very few of the citizens actually want this particular change. -

But I know why they're being used: to force concessions from a democratically-elected government against the will of the people. -

Do you mean the poll results, or the law? -

Do you mean "doesn't seem truthful" or "doesn't fit the narrative"? -

Evan Prodromou
That's interesting. Why do you think that it's not truthful? -

The student strike stopped being about expressing ideas and started being about being so disruptive as to make the government give in. -

I think it'd be great at this point to call an election. Great way to take this issue to the polls. -

@mbjunior and that has a pretty polarizing effect on the populace. After a while, people get sick of fires, smoke bombs and street closures. -

@mbjunior unfortunately, I think, the student strikers have mixed a hardline stance with a policy of social disruption. -

@mbjunior It's a hard part of effecting social change. If you make your case to the public, and the public does not agree, what do you do? -

Seriously, it's been a difficult part of this strike. Public opinion has been against the strikers from the start, and keeps dropping. -

Even if I were the kind of person who banned people I don't agree with, I enjoy this subject too much to silence you. -

Nope, that's a straw man argument. -

It's a fact, but it's also logically unsound.
