    • Well as a designer, imagine you can't work, because you need to board up your iMac as some people in yellow vests are marching on your desk.shapesalad
    • ^ well as a person with a working class background who had to start working in a factory at 14 to help my parents...oey
    • ...and myself, someone who worked all the way until finished my second design degree I still prefer the people over my mac.oey
    • and the right to protest. and if a protest turns violent, well isn't it a form of violence how the elites rule the world? I'm not saying violence will solve itoey
    • but it can happen. and these brands, well most can actually go fuck themselves.oey
    • besides, it doesn't seem they will quit business at all. so what's the issue, what's your point, where do you stand, which side are you taking, etc...oey
    • i didn't mean "you" particularly.oey
    • Paris est mortutopian
    • i bet oey's got QBN stickers on his guillotine.hotroddy
    • boohoo, oey. I was washing dishes at 12 and my dad didn't own a pair of shoes until he was 18. being WC doesn't entitle one to be a cuntGnash
    • Looting isn't a prerequisite when protesting. (and they're not just targeting lux brands)Gnash
    • "...and if a protest turns violent, well isn't it a form of violence how the elites rule the world?" So you get to smash stuff because "elites"?cannonball1978
    • hey Gnash, i didn't defend anyone being a cunt.oey
    • besides I was not criticizing anyone to use wood planks either defending looting.oey
    • I was not defending or justifying violence. I wrote "I'm not saying violence will solve it". I think some people read with filter glasses, like you know...oey
    • stereotyping :-)oey
    • my Dad went to work in a factory when he was 12 and had to walk 15km along woods barefoot...I can't imagine myself in such a situation.oey
    • one time I was in a demo throwing pavement stones in at the police vans with reinforcements when i was 15oey
    • when i looked to my side my father was right there too...that was weird.oey
    • anyway...yes, I had t a guillotine but Tatcher is dead already so I sold mine to Morrisseyoey
    • Dynamite will doi_was
    • somehow you get to smash stuff because of elites yes...I wonder how this is connected...I mean social injustice, privilegeoey
    • where do the elites become their money, how does capitalism works, which are the consequences?oey
    • how does exploration work...why do people have to work 100 hours a week to feed their children and put them to schooloey
    • or you believe that people are rich and that's it? and other people are poor because you know it's how things are?oey
    • who profits from exploitation? poor designers that can't work at Saturdays cause of the yellow vests...oey
    • buuuuuu!....oey
    • lets organize a demonstration in favor of the designers and hopefully we don't smash windows. okay, designers that work on apple can smash windows.oey
    • @ Gnash sorry to hear that you had to go wash dishes at 12...must have been hard for you.oey
    • all those dishes piling up for 12 years waiting for you ;-)oey
    • @ i_was: now we're talking!oey
    • I best it's the an tifaoey
    • to make something else clear, I don't even know if I defend the yellow vest protest at all. I see lots of confusion. and nationalism and populism in the mixoey
    • I shouldn't have written so much, it's not even worth it. probably will be taken too serious and misinterpreted. oh fuck it!oey
    • If you're a designer, do you really believe smashing other peoples stuff solves your pain? Do you really believe there is some virtue or valu in your suffering?cannonball1978
    • Sorry, why didn't people in the 50s have shoes??Nairn
    • ^ tiny village, poor farmers. first shoes when he left the country and came to canadaGnash
    • All because they wanted to raise gas taxes to take a step in curbing green house emissions???wagshaft
