I’m not sure what to take from this second half, is protest only valid if it happens under a set of circumstances and targets you’ve chosen? Is protest by a westerner invalid if they don’t take a net zero canoe to India or China or Saudi Arabia to deface something there? Surely not.
Well, depending on who you ask, a protest from a westerner is invalid simply because it’s a westerner.
Doesn’t even matter if it’s supporting a “non-westerner” cause, because then you’re just another colonizing westerner appropriating something you couldn’t possibly undertand. Regardless of your actual understanding, of course.
I really don’t know what the OP comment is even trying to say, it just comes off as weirdly confrontational.
