2) indeed, so why did YOU compare it?

Bring what up? Is anyone arguing that the people at the protest who were driving like idiots were not idiots? Anyone? Bueller?
And I compared it to show that it’s legitimately insane, as I literally just said. You don’t think it’s weird that someone jumps in into a thread where the main topic has to do with innocent people dying and the only concern they seem to have is traffic violations at home? You don’t think it’s weird that one of these people then describes those traffic violations as “producing the destruction and chaos in Gaza locally”? That’s a profoundly stupid thing to say.
The point being, have some perspective. If you can’t be bothered to comment on the conflict, and you’re just going to show up to bitch about traffic violations during a protest of the conflict, you should probably ask yourself if maybe you’re missing something.
Even giving a small effort to talk about a peripheral issue that matters, like the issue in Germany that Cliff mentioned, that makes sense. But whining about traffic violations when you can’t be bothered to give a single word to anything more important surrounding the issue... which is literally anything else? Eh, looks pretty silly.
