That's really something. Sure it's not a troll?

I heard about a Planned Parenthood doing a similar thing. They got people to commit to donating money based on how many protesters were out front. They would count them and post the expected donations based on protesters on a sign. Then the protesters had to decided if it was worth it to stick around b/c their presence was pumping money into Planned Parenthood.Dscans wrote:U of Chicago alumni pledge to donate money to "empower and protect marginalized people on the South Side" for every minute Bannon speaks.

Here's some SWJ activism that actually makes sense. Instead of attacking the perceived oppressor, they are helping the oppressed.
That's clever. A subtle attack on free speech, but passive-aggressively clever.B wrote:I heard about a Planned Parenthood doing a similar thing.

Hopefully social media corporations don't crush them (though they are being pressured greatly by progressives to try). Ultimately I don't think they will be able too.
They're even starting to break down barriers on television, in the rare cases they are allowed on. That Cathy Newman interview was a huge moment.

I'm speaking more of the intent of the donors. If their intent is to raise money for Planned Parenthood, that's great. But in this instance, their intent is to (extreme Richard Thaler voice) "nudge" the protestors into leaving. While subtle, passive, and indirect, the intent is to stop them from protesting. It's indirect enough that the donors can't be legally responsible for suppressing free speech, but I still think it's on the continuum.B wrote:Yeah, those protesters are 100% free to go there and hold up whatever signs they want.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
