I'm not sure what to take from this second half, is protest only valid if it happens under a set of circumstances and targets you've chosen? Is protest by a westerner invalid if they don't take a net zero canoe to India or China or Saudi Arabia to deface something there? Surely not.

Well, depending on who you ask, a protest from a westerner is invalid simply because it's a westerner.

Doesn't even matter if it's supporting a "non-westerner" cause, because then you're just another colonizing westerner appropriating something you couldn't possibly undertand. Regardless of your actual understanding, of course.

I really don't know what the OP comment is even trying to say, it just comes off as weirdly confrontational.

For when you need a laugh!

The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!

But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.
