So much of modern activism feels like you've got a 5-year-old with one of those novelty finger traps, and you're trying to explain that just trying to pull them off will only make it worse. And they look at you like you're a complete idiot and say "But I want to get get them OFF of me" and they pull until their face turns beet red, because the only tactic they have available is "identify the thing causing problems and apply blunt force until it goes away."

(To be fair, it's the start of Pride Month and I'm forced to concede that "hit it repeatedly with a brick and then maybe step on it" actually seemed to work out pretty well for us at Stonewall...)
