Demonstrations
21st December 2018
One of the most common hobbies of ‘activist’ is the ‘demonstration’, during which a greater or lesser number of rude and ugly people wander the streets shouting and whining and waving signs and inconvenience ordinary people.
If you should happen to encounter one such, ask a participant what they are demonstrating. If you even receive an answer, it will be in the form of ‘demonstrating for [whatever]’. Respond, ‘I didn’t ask you what you were demonstrating for, but rather what you were demonstrating. If I demonstrate a pen, I show how it is used. If I demonstrate a washing machine, I show how it is used. So what actual use are you demonstrating?’
It ought to be fun.
