*Protest Peacefully*

/The Tony Tonkin Show, 9 Feb 2026/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPGwIQT8oMA>


"It is our right to protest, but we must do it peacefully."

~~~ ~~~

The point of democracy is that the people's will is heard by those who
are elected into positions serving us and running the country on our collective behalf. There are times when governments do things that for whatever reason go against what segments of the population find
acceptable. And that is where the democratic right of citizens/residents
comes into play expressing their opposition in a peaceful BUT
unmistakeable manner.

Expecting demonstration to be somehow be conducted in an almost
invisible manner NOT inconveniencing/annoying those who are determined
not to listen NO matter what is an obvious oxymoron. But the expectation
for demonstrations to be peaceful and not cause huge damage to lives and property is of course well justified.

And this is exactly where the political far-right (specially their
deplorable scum stochastic terrorist propaganda trumpeters like for
instance those so called "journalists" like Bolt and co.) descends into
full hypocrisy. On one hand they demand absolute public access to
platforms spewing vile hate towards anyone who dares to express dissent
to their horrible war and hate mongering or even genocide apologist
agenda yet will not tolerate even the mildest form of public protest
when somehow political decisions seem to be to their liking.
