That last part of your comment is the reason for these protests. Building support networks with other organizations with common goals. The point is the organizing of people who agree things need to be better. Protests alone do nothing. It’s what happens behind the scenes and after the fact. It’s drilling people on how to organize mass movements. Which is hard.
I’ve talked with and observed a number of people who didn’t think much of the NK protests they attended. They tend to find other small groups or find another means of contribution so there’s positive effect on people who don’t like the performative nature of it all. The best thing of going to the protests is the reassurance that there’s a vast array of people across age groups who think this administration needs tossed out.
