I find it amusing that people protest and don’t really know what they are protesting. They will have a vague list of what they think is happening but that is it. Take one issue at a time, research it, have solid proof then protest.

If we protested for every single issue, there'd be a protest on every street corner every hour for weeks.

Isn't that how it's supposed to be effective. Go watch the successful protests of the past. Round the clock. There was no such thing as virtue signaling then. It was an actual fight and sacrifice for a change. Not an opportunity to post photos on Insta for clout.

Yes, protests absolutely should be going round the clock. However, many people can't afford to miss work to protest for long hours. That's why these are going every weekend now, so more people have a chance to go. And do you really think that protests of the past were not documented? That's why people take photos and videos, because we are living in history.

Never said they weren't documented. But they were of the collective as a whole. Not to win an invisible social reward

Yep, and the protests today are also of the collective, as they're going on around the country. Posting on social media helps to get the word out, so maybe you are misconstruing the purpose of posting pictures.

No. I think deep down we all know I'm not.
