It's not psycho for people to get upset about a movement that means something to them. And it's incumbent upon those of us with larger platforms to de-escalate when we can. That's the responsibility of having a voice that has reach.
Perhaps one way to square this is by instead thinking about daily active participants instead of topline attendance figures. Daily boycotting vs semi-annual march. And that line of thinking reveals to me that we’re comparing a movement vs not (yet) a movement.

When is a movement a movement? High daily active participants is a specific strategy; high single day participants is another.
Actually, I imagine this is due to material constraints – high DAP is harder to maintain in the 21st century than in the mid-20th, so we aim for high SDP instead.
