Worth mentioning this right is often shut down by bullshit police. In Berkeley they shut down protests over police brutality after Eric Gardner died by shooting tear gas into the crowds and beating whomever they could.
I’ll admit the next day they were more tame (thanks to all the videos catching their abuse) but I’ll never forget seeing four officers beat up some female student twenty feet away. Disgusting.
I wouldn’t consider it common in the sense that it’s used often in every day conversation, but it’s definitely a construction I’ve heard enough to understand without thinking about it, if that makes sense.
Agreed. It’s so easy and convenient to stay in our day/to-day patterns (e.g. gaming after work for a bit), but the level of absurdity of their actions really needs to be met with protest. We need to send a symbol to other companies that this won’t stand.
Fortunately the games mentioned don’t require any money other than the initial upfront cost, hence the protest. Protesting could also vastly raise queue times, making the experience i enjoyable for many.
But I agree, I’ll never spend another $ on anything blizzard unless they take a different stand on the issue.
