Never forget, there is no acceptable form of resistance to oppression.
If you use physical violence in response to violence you will be told you're just as bad as your oppressor.
If you destroy property as a form of direct action you will be lumped in with looters and hooligans and told that invalidates your cause.
If you block traffic, or engage in other forms of nonviolent nondestructive civil disobedience, you'll be told that you're getting in the way of struggling people that just want to do their job and collect a paycheck.
If you physically impede nothing and no one, but use only signs and shouts, you will be told that if your position held any weight you'd be able to debate people and convince them to your side.
If you argue calmly with people in public, using reason to explain yourself, you will be told that you're just as annoying as the people you're arguing against. Or that you need to be nicer. Or that its your fault that your abusers are acting the way they do because you're not convincing them in the right way.
If you do nothing but simply exist as you are, you'll be told that your existence is an inconvenience for other people or a problem for society.
If you go out of your way to hide yourself then you'll be told that any problems you have are your own fault because you didn't do more to solve them.
