    In my feeds, I’ve mostly seen people attacking those who don’t cheer (look at the replies in just this thread *).

    I wish that enthusiasm was used for nonviolent direct action over the years, but too few could be bothered. I wish I was optimistic the enthusiasm now would miraculously make a difference.

    I wasn’t even attacking those who are cheering. I was saying I’m not into it, but the replies are people who feel threatened by this perspective.

    * edit: Oh, here’s a great example. But it’s probably my fault for expressing a nuanced view.
