People seem to come down hard on civil disobedience (i.e. "if they wanted to be taken seriously, they shouldn't be breaking the law") when it has been used as a tool by many respected change makers.

I think some causes are more important than others. To equate the occupiers with MLK is ridiculous. You should just call big corporations Nazis and go full godwin.
