All throughout human history, in every part of the world, there have been revolutions, uprisings, riots, strikes and protests

yeah but all throughout human history, people have had meaningful human connections to each other. meanwhile, in the western world today, it feels like you can be accused of sexual harassment for looking at somebody too long.

    I'm a little confused. Are you saying people are not rioting because they're scared of being accused of sexual harassment? Or do you think that sexual harassment used to be seen as something harmless and 'meaningful?'

    Do you believe that people would be more likely to act if sexual harassment was (still) accepted? I guess I just don't get your point.

    Well, you just outed yourself as a part of the problem

    If you're constantly being accused of being a creep, I'm going to go with the simple answer

    You're a creep

    It's amazing how I've never had this problem, and have many meaningful connections with all sorts of people

    i'm going to go with the simple answer

    "I've never had this problem" sounds a lot like "it works on my machine". or "there's not a police problem because i've never been targeted". it really just means that you're part of the favored part of society with favored traits and characteristics.
