Solidarity denotes the unity and mutual support among individuals with shared objectives, crucial in protests for reinforcing collective resolve. Protests are strategically held in high-visibility, disruptive locations to maximize impact and draw public and institutional attention. This disruption compels acknowledgment of the issues, leveraging collective action to catalyze societal and political change. In contrast, low-visibility protests are often ineffective as they fail to generate sufficient public awareness or pressure for change.
Peaceful protests are a myth taught to you by those in power who don’t want you a protesting effectively.
Maybe, I don’t protest. Most of the time, I consider them a waste of time.
I prefer focusing on things that I actually have control over.
I have no control over “those in power”. Whatever that means. Just like I have no control over you. But I do vote during elections when I can.
I’m too busy building my own business, working, taking care of myself and the people that I love.
Whatever you’re actually trying to achieve by protesting, I always assume there’s a more effective and productive way to go about things.
“Those in power” genuinely don’t give a damn about you.
They are too busy with their own lives.
You’re an annoying, disruptive, incompetent and/or unproductive member of society that has nothing better to do than create problems.
Having to use violence and chaos is a reflection of your own powerlessness and inability to be productive in a positive matter.
