Simon O'Connor: Inconsistency at the end of the rainbow

I find many protest actions ridiculous and counter-productive. Throwing white paint over rainbow crossings is just another example. Such actions don’t achieve much, if anything. I don’t feel such actions are particularly constructive, conducive to civil discourse, or respectful. Such protests upset those symbolically targeted and often, in these modern times, simply provides media and others a further reason to fuel their erroneous ‘victim versus oppressor’ narrative. Put simply, I don’t see much good in such protest actions other than furthering grievance all round.
