I'm starting to feel that when people protest things they disagree with that it has less to do with the actual issue than with a desire to voice a contrary opinion in general. I suspect that the opposition—even anger sometimes—is a lot less about vaccines, or abortion than some other unmet need that finds expression though this kind of opposition. And I also think that even discussing these issues with the intent to persuade is futile and giving the protesters exactly what they are seeking. I think it's deeply ironic that an army of well intentioned people fan out on the internet to 'educate' people who are against X actually end up giving the protesters what they actually want, free therapy for some sort of frustrated need to be heard.¹ Even funnier is that both sides are playing out this psychodrama while being completely ignorant of the actual motivations behind their behaviour. 1. Or maybe the need to exercise the power expressed by holding an entire state or country hostage via a virus...?

I am very petty about this one bug and have a very old axe to grind that this reminded me of!
Not just the edge router.
