In the last week, I've had two unrelated people give me two different "I would protest but I'm not ALLOWED to because X" (where in one case it was "I do part-time AV work for a state university", the other was "I'm not a resident of the specific town the protest is happening in", so nonsense reasons anyway) ... is that the new line from the ostensibly leftist but won't do shit crowd, making up someone who's denying you permission to protest? Ugh.
