Solidarity denotes the unity and mutual support among individuals with shared objectives, crucial in protests for reinforcing collective resolve. Protests are strategically held in high-visibility, disruptive locations to maximize impact and draw public and institutional attention. This disruption compels acknowledgment of the issues, leveraging collective action to catalyze societal and political change. In contrast, low-visibility protests are often ineffective as they fail to generate sufficient public awareness or pressure for change.
Protests are only effective if they are disruptive, not just visible.
Doesn’t sound very peaceful and legal.
If you really love high visibility disruptive locations, make sure you don’t end up highly visible and disrupted on my windshield.
Bombing things until they got the right to vote wasn’t peaceful or legal when the suffragettes did it. If asking politely didn’t work, there’s no reason to think that asking politely but in a different place will fare any better.
So you’re going to fight genocides and promote peace with bombs and killing people?
Makes no sense. You’re insane, bro.
That worked pretty effectively in the 1940s, whereas asking the Nazis politely not to invade Poland was completely useless.
Why would anyone change anything for peaceful and legal protests? Significant change only happens because it is disruptive.
Go ask Mahatma Gandhi.
You mean a leader of deeply disruptive and illegal protest movements?
He was disobedient in a passive, nonviolent, civil and ethical way.
He was not, he was disobedient in a wildly disruptive and active manner.
Study any civil movement in history and you’ll see that it change happened because of disruption.
Go study him then. You might learn a few things.
It’s the opposite, you have no idea why change happens and think it’s out of the good will of the state.
Peaceful protests are a myth taught to you by those in power who don’t want you a protesting effectively.
