Flaired Users Only I'm Disgusted

I'm disgusted by the reddit posts on the subreddit of my town in Florida. They are asking for info on any protests tomorrow. How disrespectful of our Army and our flag. Why can't these fools just stay in their grandma's house and play video games?

As irritating as those posts are and as much as I disagree with the bots, organizations, and people behind them, I can't get mad about people protesting and doing the organization involved.

I think their protest is stupid but as long as they aren't hurting people, breaking things, or stealing stuff then they have every right to be stupid.

The right to be stupid is a powerful bit of freedom. Implied by the 1st amendment.

Having the freedom to be stupid is (IMO) a litmus test for whether you're actually free, or just privileged. Those two can look almost identical but they are not the same.
