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?

    Yeah, better not disturbe anyone when you are doing your awareness “protests”…

      I’d claim that it should not be about “anyone”. It should be targeted. If you are to “disturb” someone, better do this intentionally and with the clear idea what such disturbance is meant to achieve.

      I’m not saying you should stand still. I’m saying that you should think before (and after) you act. Wouldn’t hurt too much, would it?
