    Exactly how cool or uncool is the protest? That's literally all that matters. The cooler the protest the more is permissible.

    Same objection as the "authoritarian axis" on political compasses. Are you using your authority to be cool or uncool? Where's that axis?

    Creating a petition only has 87% support what the fuck? People writing their names on a piece of paper?

      If I were polled I'd say it's unacceptable because it's meaningless bullshit that libs do instead of actual forms of protest.

      The ~8% that finds rioting acceptable probably overlaps heavily with the ~4% that finds petitions unacceptable.

      Also willingly adding your name to a list of people who oppose their government's policies that will then be given to said government sounds like a horrible idea.

        You're right of course from an organization perspective but I don't think that's the spirit of the question.
