      It’s not that edgy.

      18yo is jailed for a couple of songs lol.

      It won’t do anything, right, but that what I and them should be free to do.

        its pretty edgy to get yourself thrown into jail for something stupid you know will put you there.

          and teenagers are never edgy. most rational phase of a persons life. now in a free country people would understand, but you can of course defend why it’s right to jail kids for playing music.

              “hmm, could it be that his sarcasm meant to make a case for irrationality of teenagers? no, i bet he meant it like he wrote it when he said teenagers are known for their rationality.”

              rly?

          If your highest goal is self-preservation, then yeah, it doesn’t make sense. However, protestors like this usually care about something more important than themselves. It’s what drives them to put themselves out there, knowing they could be at risk for doing so.

          I’m sure we could disagree on what specific things would make sense to potentially sacrifice one’s self for, but I hope the simple idea of something being that important at all is relatable. For some it’s their rights, for some it’s their religion, and for some it’s their family, but either way, most people can think of something they consider more important than themselves. It’s that importance that compels people to defend it, despite the personal danger for doing so.
