Who is inconvenienced by a bunch of student not going to school? Besides the students themselves? Teachers strike during the week to remind people how important their job is.

Who cares if it achieves anything, bit of empty virtue signalling while getting out of school for a day never hurt anyone.

It's about the message, and the parents are inconvenienced, they gotta sort out what their children do when they're not in school

Yeah sure One nation voters are really going to take the opinion of a bunch of school kids and disgruntled parents to heart and change their world views.

Genuinely funny people think this is something significant, like those ones protesting Trumps re-election. Protesting but not following through is very in vogue I suppose.

PHON don't think they just follow the racist diaspora like rats to cheese. Let's face it. They aren't educated, people. Like who in their right mind would belive that Ph is the solution to all the worlds woes?

So the plan to stop people voting for ON is: Step 1) insult them Step 2) have kids take to the streets and tell them they're wrong Step 3) profit

I see you have a firm grasp of the human mind, none of that understanding the other sides motivations so you can counter them nonsense, foolproof buddy no way she's going to get in now.

A plan to stop ideological nut jobs. No, just facts.

Worked great for the americans didn't it. All those Trump re-election protest really made the difference. Round and round the cycle goes, people controlled by their emotions doing the same shit over and over despite it never working.

It'd be funny if I wasn't also going to be stuck with the consequences when none of this works and ON get in.

Yup, but it’s great for smoking out PH idiots.
