I didn't equate them.

I asked why people disparage those using civil disobedience now when it has been used for important causes in the past. I asked the same question in one of the Greenpeace threads and again people said I was "equating". I'm not at all. I'm asking if people are condemning civil disobedience because they are 100% against people breaking the law for a political purpose, or if they are 100% against people breaking the law for a political purpose that they are not totally in agreement with?

My question really has nothing to do with the occupiers movement... my question is how do you gauge when civil disobedience is appropriate or not?
