So they're privileged enough to not have to work and to lie in the sunshine on a road on what is a very learnt day here in the uk.
I'm not prejudice against them you could at I'm making assumptions, but I admit they're assumptions, I'm doing some guess work based on the appearance of the protestors.
...which is exactly the point. You're judging them based on appearances -without known a goddamned thing about them-.
You don't even see it, which was exactly my point.
You're partially correct, I do have some preconceived notions about these people based on their actions and appearance.
But it's incorrect to say I know nothing about them.
I know they are young, that they do have nice clothes and nicely done hair. I know they don't have to be in work or looking after children or anything more important than lying on a motorway today.
So based on that I am thinking that they are young students who don't have to work who are just doing this because it's the latest hashtag.
But you're correct I don't know this for an absolute fact, I. Just stating my thoughts, predictions and my guess work as to what the demographic of the protestors will be made up of.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
