When you donate, do you ever think of the person that gets your blood and how high their hospital bill will be?

Right. You are righteously protesting. Right on. No joke or bullshit, I applaud conviction.
Of course, the bastards have made it so that the price of mass protest of this kind is the same folks protesting dying more often.
That's also no joke, or bullshit.
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction, and if you stare at the abyss too long it stares back at you; same sentiment.
Same way you don't kid yourself about the goal, never kid yourself about the price and who pays it or you're no better than who you protest.
I'm sorry if this is news, and it is not your fault; let's head off that trite response.
But conviction often quantifiably costs blood, and it's poignant the theme is literal this time which is why I'm taking the chance to blab this much.
A warrior should know the weight of the sword they heft.
