It takes more than a couple people chaining themselves to a building to actually enact change. It takes pressure from the general public as a whole. If the public ignore all the protests, then there is no pressure, and thus no change.
Protesting isn't supposed to be some nice thing. It's people getting desperate because change needs to happen, because they have no other peaceful option other than to make noise and make a nuisance. If you don't like the nuisance, then your best option is to push for the change they're chasing - particularly if you generally agree with their cause.
Protesting is literally what gave you all the rights you enjoy today, sat in your cosy chair chatting away on the internet.
Do you really want people like me involved?
Think really hard about that before you answer.
At this point, I kind of believe you're the type of person to catch twenty years running over a protestor; so maybe you're on the wrong board.
they're the type of person to be a 12 year old edgelord who masturbates to videos on youtube of protestors getting owned
Since you wrote here that you want the whole region to be nuked I think we'll pass on your involvement.
wow what an internet bad ass. Touch grass you snivelling parasite.
It is good if you are inconvenienced by a protest like this regardless. Causing inconvenience to as many people as possible is the point; your personal feelings are completely irrelevant and nobody here cares.
