Hey, thanks for the comment. Sure I agree, name-calling is not something that gets anyone anywhere... but at some point, as a society and community, we have to congeal and get to societal norms where we all start to follow the unwritten rules, attitudes and behaviours. That's not happening here. These demonstrations should be allowed to happen but there's a place that these demonstrations should occur. In front of hospitals is NOT the place AND under the auspices of supporting the health workers, which is not true. We're all calling it out. These people are tone-deaf. And now, they are planning more protests IN FRONT OF hospitals, again. Take it to the government offices. Unbelievable.

You think such things will succeed? I am not only sceptical about its feasibility (I think it is impossible to impose the same rules on all people), but I find it not very desirable and downright unsuccessful where it has been forced to be imposed at all costs.
Why not? It's a good place because the demonstrators are bothering there. That's the nature of a demo, that it should disturb people. Otherwise there would be no point in demonstrating. I am always annoyed when demos cause traffic jams, are held "in the middle of town" but if this would not be the case, I would not notice them, be not disturbed and they would be without an effect.
While this may be untrue for one part of the workers, those who are alright with the rules, it is true for the others, who disagree with them. Nobody can speak for the whole group of workers and make a homogen crowd out of them. That would be unclean.
Can you agree that this is reality, that people are not like legos or clones, all having the same notions but different ones? Can you further see something positive in it?
