      I was talking to my son about seeing protestors when I was out earlier and he said “peaceful protest doesn’t actually do anything though.”

      “Well bud, this is the first step to the state cracking down way too hard on peaceful protestors, then things will get more interesting.”

        Peaceful protests by themselves exclusively don’t achieve any political goals (as long as it’s not funded by the CIA in an unstable region). Protests should be tied to actual action: unionisation, collective bargaining, striking, and teaching of political theory to the masses. And by “tied”, I mean that the people in the demonstration should explicitly be told to support the following, concrete steps already planned before the protest.
