I'm a senior in high school, and for the past year I've served as the president of my school's Amnesty International chapter, a human rights club. The club is best characterized as liberal, though there was once a day and age when supporting human rights was an apolitical cause that everyone could advocate. Point being, in my position in this club, I have a lot of self-righteously indignant liberal students nagging me to host constant rallies at my school to protest various human rights abuses.
My problem with all of this? The act of protesting is pointless and ultimately selfish.
