If this thread is like the others, there are no demands but a strong intention to express general discontent.
what is being protested then?? Why make the effort if they themselves don’t know what they want?
Don’t worry. The protest won’t matter at all and a large majority won’t even hear about it. Gives layabouts an excuse to layabout some more.
But that’s precisely what worries me, people spending effort that goes to waste instead of organizing something that effects a change
Yeah that’s a really good point.
The general consensus seems to be that doing something is better than doing nothing.
I really disagree though. After a few failed attempts people will lose heart and get in line.
There seems to be half a dozen different protests now too, all on different days with no cohesive objectives
That’s a pro. As soon as there’s a clear motif or leader, it’s very easy to undermine that single point of weakness. A general rabble sends the clear vibe of “we are not impressed, and might burn things” with the air of uncertainty to keep the powers that be on their toes.
Well I guess you can’t undermine a protest that isn’t protesting anything but that still doesn’t explain what the point of this non-protest protest is? How would a bunch of people not buying stuff for a day keep “the powers that be” (who? the capitalists? Their politicians? The police?) on their toes?
