@9HXBM3Q4mos4MO
Normally with the new form of social activism it's a let down. It's social. Not productive.
@9J2WP254mos4MO
Yes, if it's a good cause and it's a protest for humanity then, I would feel inspired and even go help protest myself. If a protest is for a country like isr#al, then no I wouldn't support it because of what they did in Palestine.
@9HXQ8NW4mos4MO
depending on what they are protesting I do feel inspired and show appreciation for the act.
@9HVQ5LW4mos4MO
Yes I do get inspired. I think it’s important to have our voices heard on important issues.
@9HTJXP34mos4MO
I dont think me personally being out their so i can get gassed over straight activism is such a good idea
@9HYPGQG4mos4MO
Yes I do, because when I hear about all these issues around the world - I feel like I want to help them and raise my voice for them.
@9HYT4GW4mos4MO
No. The news is not unbiased and they generate more revenue perpetuating negative material. If a cause is worth protesting, i’ll protest. We have bigger issues at home we are ignoring.
@9J8L9H43mos3MO
When I see social activism on Canadian streets it brings tears of relief and joy to my eyes as it reminds me that democracy is not dead as long as the people have the courage to stand up and MAKE their voices heard!
@9J9CCKN3mos3MO
It depends on the protest & the message, I guess. Some protests are embarrassing. Some protests are inspiring. I don't respond to all protest the same way.
@9KBQC3X2mos2MO
I think people should have the right to protest and if it is for a cause I agree with I may choose to as well.
@9J32JDZ4mos4MO
I do not feel inspired and just want to see their opinions
I think if someone is really hurt for them to protest I think they should make a change to make their people happier.
@9LLV2S62wks2W
In my opinion, when I hear about protests on the news, I feel inspired to try and help out the protests that actually involve me and to help support it
@9LLTPMJ2wks2W
my reaction would likley depend on the topic of protest, and the actions of the protesting group, if i agree with their point and they arent ruining cities, or causing risk and destruction, then ill be fine wth it
@9JCS9GBConservative3mos3MO
No. Lately protest has gone from the valuable tool it used to be to a form of whining. It is pathetic
@9JB5TJB3mos3MO
Yes especially against things like the Covid-19 protest that was across Canada I was more then willing to support it because things like that is what causes the government to crash and then we realize that Covid was just a way for the government to lower the population.
@9JB49DD3mos3MO
For example the whole Palestine war. I see protesters in Halifax all the time. I feel sorry for them. Their homes and country is being blown up and there is not much they can do about it. It makes me want to do something about it and want to put an end to it all. I couldn't imagine being in their position, Forced to leave the country if they value their life and of their family, And that happening to Canada. I would feel torn, And i'm sure all those people do too.
@9J9SKD73mos3MO
It depends on the protest. If it is in favour of the Canadian people, I feel so terribly enflamed to support it.
@9J8R9BD3mos3MO
I do not always feel inclined to act do to the reason often these protests do not result in peace, they often result in violence and destruction of public property, furthermore often times not any research is being done prior to the protest, often individuals jump on a "bandwagon" of sorts as human beings often seek enjoyment from being collectively opposed at something even if the cause may be unjust or corrupt.
@9J3GTJ64mos4MO
only if the activism does not interfere with others rights to carry on their and basic needs
@9LMVKN42wks2W
I do not find it inspiring to act, even though I care about the topic.
@9LMRWFF2wks2W
I do not feel inspired, but I respect what they do to have their wanted rights.
@9LMGBWJ2wks2W
Absolutely. Acting on social issues can look different for everyone.
@9LM3CLJNew Democratic2wks2W
I feel inspired to act by protesting or otherwise making my voice heard
@9LLTX2X2wks2W
i don't really have political view most of the protest don't inspire me
Depends on what they’re protesting about half the people that protest are stupid these days. Have the protests that are organized aren’t even really that well organized anymore it’s just a bunch of nonsense most of them not all of them. Some of them are very well stood.
@9K9QJD82mos2MO
I do feel inspired to act, but being a small town in the middle of no where, you don't there is much you can do.
@9J43SK94mos4MO
Yes i feel inspired to act as a Social Activism rather than protesting for those.
@9LMRNNW2wks2W
I don't like it because I find it as a dangerous way of trying to change things.
@9LM9QV92wks2W
I feel hopelessness because our government doesnt really seem to be listening to what the people want. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
@9LM79HX2wks2W
Depends on what it is. I support the truckers, but I believe the free palestiners should be charged with supporting genocide.
@9LLTNGFNew Democratic2wks2W
I don't feel inspired to act about it because most of the time it doesnt bother me
@9LLL9TM2wks2W
Of course, if there is anything I can do to help, I choose to.
@9LJXC9B2wks2W
When I agree with their beliefs, I feel proud that my fellow citizens felt strong enough to fight for what they believe is right, But when I disagree with them I simply believe their moronic and should be made fun of, laugh at the reprocussions they face for speaking out.
@9KBHCRY2mos2MO
When I hear about protests in the news, I would feel inspired to act if I supported what the people were protesting about. If it was something I disagree with, I would find a way to support those against it but, if I supported it, I would go and protest with them.
@9KBGZHY2mos2MO
Think that it all depends on what the protestisfor, however I dislike them overall us find that those uno participateinthese things are not well adverse in the topic and want to make aloud noise without doing enough research onthe overall issue. Ican appreciate people and passionate but trey often lead to rage
And negativity
@9J9PHBQ3mos3MO
I feel like it is good to see the spirit of free speech alive as long as protests are non violent
@9J9HDCF3mos3MO
If it's for a cause that will affect my future in a good way then yes I'd feel inspired to act.
@9LMRPJB2wks2W
I never feel inspired to act in protests although some topics may make me feel mad, confused or glad about why people are protesting it, I would not do anything about it besides feel how I feel.
Me personally I don't protest but I encouraged everyone to protest.
@9LM4P8Y2wks2W
It doesn't make me want to act and more often than not makes me think people are overreacting to many issues.
@9LM37SW2wks2W
I don’t care really, they can protest if they want to protest. I don’t join protests
@9LMGGKJ2wks2W
I do not really feel inspired to act, I am not a social activist myself. What I wish for is peace on Earth. I do not really pay attention to political conflicts. Overall, I am just neutral.
@9LM3HW72wks2W
It depends on what we are protesting about and if I am inspired maybe I will talk about with my friends. I don’t know
@9LLV5VQ2wks2W
I don't pay attention to the news, I'll do what I think is right but I will not make a scene out of it and over-dramatize it.
@9LKHLWL2wks2W
I don't agree with the BLM movement nor the Trans-rights ideology. I don't see how defunding the police nor promoting pro-choice ideas would help anyone. It may be attractive to the younger generation unfortunately.
@9LKH2RC2wks2W
I do, but ultimately, there is not enough people and they would just make fun of me.
@9J6S7WT3mos3MO
With certain subjects i feel inspired to act but others no so much.
@9LMD3D82wks2W
it depends entirely on the actions and cause behind the protests
@9LKHV3T2wks2W
No it doesn’t make me want to act and depending what its about inask myself why do people feel okay looking stupid or I think good job
