May be phrasing it wrong, but I look at actions like Labor rights, Pride, Civil Rights, Black Panthers, etc. where actions of protesters felt much intense and made more of an impact in actually changing things vs now where there are protests but it feels like it constantly falls of deaf ears.
Have we just not hit that breaking point yet? Have we collectively been beat down so hard? Or have we forgotten how to truly fight for rights? Or… am I just completely off the mark and missing something else?
The things people are protesting against now are pathetically trivial compared to the things those people protested, that’s why.
They’re more just a bunch of people don’t like something, or are against something that they think is happening when it actually isn’t (or is at least a 50/50 issue).
There’s also the fact that most of the protesters these days are just virtue signallers, or are rent-a-protest paid protesters who couldn’t care less.
This is ridiculous. I have been at three protests this year so far. One for union rights, another for immigration rights, and the third for keeping the presidential powers in check. None of these are “trivial”. Maybe the real answer is that the privileged don’t feel the need to look at the bigger picture.
He’s a fascist.
Where do I get one of these paid protest jobs? Do I need to be on the Illuminati Newsletter?

Did you really think that the protests that are 90% pensioners holding all the same print signs and chanting the same thing, often reading from their printouts they were given, were organic?
