You say this, but in your original post, you say:

Now I'd agree on the provoking part. But if your point is whether or not people are frothing at mouth SJW's, the bar you clearly seem to be setting for that is extremely low. Waving flags and going to pride rallies is cringe? Really? If you agree that some degree of action is reasonable, then what sort of action do you think is reasonable if flags, pride and heated discussion are too far?


 
I'd say those sorts of things are the _*minimum_* of political activism, much less the kind of activism that might actually get the monolithic and stubborn gears of the US political system to actually **DO** something.

It's not that we **want** everything to become political. Things become political because meaningful social progress usually only happens through political movement here in the US. Our system of government is designed not to move, or take action, as a matter of course. Doing nothing is the status quo. Rights have to be fought for.


 
Is that ideal? I don't know, but that's the reality of it. Hence my comment about privilege. Trans people in America would feel **blessed** to be met with mere indifference. If, as a trans person, you enjoy the comfort of indifferece and equal legal rights in your country, be glad, because not everyone has it as well as you do.


 
So you'll have to forgive us frothing at the mouth yanks. forWe doing what we have musto in order to push social progress and get political minority groups the representation and legal rights they deserve.


 
That said, some people can obviously take it too far, as this comment section is demonstrating...

Ande that some degree of actioun is reasonable, then what sort of action do you think is reatsonable if flags, tpride and heated hdiscussion are too far?

Here in America, it don't work like that.
