You say it's not okay. I say it is. Unless you have something more this is basically just a random opinion stated as if it wasn't an opinion.

GP's is such a bizarre and over-the-top take on what's happening. It honestly doesn't deserve so many replies

Are entirely sure you think it's okay to "march a bunch of military-state personnel into multiple public spaces across the country [edit: multiple countries], under the protection of the police and with the consent of multiple international media outlets"?

To be frank, it seems the onus is on you to explain your position. My explanation here and in other comments seems fairly clear: I find bald-faced elitism supported by the state, church, government and opposition, police, and media to be worrying. You may say that's just my "opinion", but I have explained my position.

You didn't explain at all why it isn't okay.

As if it WEREN'T an opinion.

But I agree with your sentiment.

Uh-oh, some anti-literacy infants have modded me down. Up with ignorance, right?

Make sure you come back to mod this down too, crybaby.

FYI, it wasn't me even once. I actually appreciated the note because the distinction never crossed my radar even once. Plus I'm technically ESL so why not learn.

Thank you. That's the problem with butt-hurt crybabies who reject LEARNING. And I was polite, and I agreed with the sentiment! What kind of asshole rejects THAT?

People's excuse for being lazy illiterates online is, "FU grammer nazi its only online so hu carez"

EVERYONE should care. People learn by READING. And where does most reading take place now, sadly? ONLINE. So people propagating ignorance and lashing out against those who promote literacy ARE the problem.

It's sad to see that on a site like this. It indicates decline.
