While the arts students are wetting their pants at the thought of protesting Trump, they remain unmoved towards the plight of gay populations in Asia.

I wonder what Mickey harts opinion. He's been silent so far.

Fighting Tao

Typical crap title to the thread. It’s lazy at this stage.

Do you expect everyone that fights for specific rights to fight every single cause? How much time do you think everyone has?

Yes. Which makes the smelly arts students just as bad as what they profess to stand against.

Whataboutery recipe

Ingredients:
1 conflict/rights abuse nobody has heard about or has only come to local media today
1 political/social grouping you don't like

Mix the conflict and grouping together in one bowl. Season with outrage.

Serve with one follow up post, then withdraw.

Unreasonable to expect people to be sympathetic to every cause that’s walking the road.

What's more relatable to someone in Ireland?

A) the highly controversial "Leader of the Free World" coming to Ireland.

Does being 'smelly' accurately indicate one's position on the political spectrum I wonder?

Yep, like as if he made threads on India, Switzerland with the exact same rationale.
