Hey, I am just a curious sort of person, so I was wondering, do you think there's any cause that's worth protesting?
If you'll humor me a little bit: say completely hypothetically (and ridiculously) that there was a political group who, for some reason or another, absolutely despised people named Austin and wanted to get the legal right to arrest anyone they found named Austin out walking in the streets. The bill they're currently championing would allow them to legally beat, arrest, and imprison any Austins that happened to be discovered in public, and you also discover that there's enough support for this bill to have a chance at passing. Do you think, in this weird, nightmarish scenario, you'd be willing to protest against this bill even if it caused you and others some sort of inconvenience?
Yooo. That’s my name. Please don’t let this be a thing, thanks.
