There is one very important takeaway in this John Oliver clip, that was cut from the TikTok screen grab version that’s recently shared on Fediverse:
Protests are messy, and you cannot expect everyone to behave uniformly;
When a protest is organized, opponents will say they are “orchestrated”;
When not, opponents will call them “rioters”;
So judge the larger cause, and don’t let incidents undermine the cause.
