    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?
