“This episode could have more accurately been titled “Protest is fine so long as it doesn’t affect me or my comfort in any way possible”.
What an absurdly biased way to discuss this series of events. The literati and media classes’ reporting of this at the time was tone deaf and entirely removed from the broader context in which the campaigners were operating. This episode manages to distill that same liberal conceit that any challenge to the status quo that requires some introspection is simply naïveté, a lack of critical thinking, and self-interestedness on behalf of the protesters.
This sort of lassez-faire attitude to the ethical health of our society and how such lack of care directly affects the material conditions of local and international communities as a whole. This is how we end up with live-streamed eco/genocide unchallenged by those handling the levers of power. This sense of entitlement to not be asked to consider the reality of those outside our immediate bubble is how we’re numbed into doing nothing.
And this episode shills for exactly that. When Tortoise is lauded for considered and careful reporting, this episode is and the attitudes it exposes and legitimises is abysmal.”
