My local protest didn’t seem to have any demands. Is that always a red flag?
Sorry, didn't you see on "stormfront" how they posted pictures of signs with one-liners that land somehow between "cringe" and "bad"? You telling me that's not making a difference?
Wait, hold on, let me get out of the road, there's an oversized lifted truck driven by an 80 year old with cataracts in both eyes who's going to die in a stroke behind the wheel at some point at in the near future driving towards me.
I wouldn't want to impede traffic, that's not what civil disobedience is about...
Anyhow, where was I...?
Yeah but I cant see any protest in the USA yesterday that had decent demands. Either purely vibes based or shit like "Hands off NATO!".

Good point! I stand corrected. I forgot that Palestinian demos were out in force too.
Yes
I'd say not always but you should interpret it in context for the situation.
Having no demands is a criticism against many loose oppositional groups. In some ways its hard to see how they would have "a demand" because they aren't an organization. They are a transient mass unified by sentiment.
Its not impossible to have such an even on the road to a productive outcome. But in this case I'm very skeptical.
