There’s a unique kind of heartbreak in seeing innocence trampled for the sake of adult agendas.
'Manipulative' Melbourne Myer Christmas window protesters weaponise joy, undermining the moral urgency of their message
Dragging them, directly or indirectly, into political battles strips them of their childhood - something no campaign, no matter how righteous its intent, can ever justify. One protestor held a sign mocking attendees:"You look stupid staring at windows when kids are being murdered." To me, this capitulation signals a troubling precedent: that even our most innocent and joyous traditions are no longer safe from the weight of adult conflicts.But when protests deliberately set out with the explicit aim of tearing down a children’s Christmas event, the moral high ground is lost.
This approach often backfires, turning public sentiment against the movement rather than garnering sympathy.
