Any social movement that occurs needs to take this into account for their messaging. If the majority of the populous is not spoon fed easily digestible (i.e. short and in plain language) messaging that accurately describes the movement, then it will fall flat. Using the "defund the police" tagline is too easily misconstrued and is terrible messaging.

I agree that all it takes is for someone to make a very small effort to understand the position of the movement and their goals. I lament the inability for people to do this sort of research all the time. But my idealist viewpoint has to make way for the pragmatic side where I know that it is futility to think that will work out.

Is it laziness? It’s really weird to put the onus on the people that are being spoken to and not the ones doing the speaking. If I’m a clear thinking person and I misunderstand your message, that’s on you, not a result of my laziness.
