Do you have any evidence of this? If so you should write your own article. Literally an someone that thought the same as you looked into things and found otherwise. The article was just posted for it. look forward to seeing your research and reasoning on the subject.

I finally saw your link in the text, it did not show up in the response very clearly , and only saw it when I viewed here again.

I don’t think that article is relevant to my opinion which is that no protest whether peaceful or violent can undo the policy changes.

But think some protests can help rescue people from being kidnapped, but that is not a change undoing the sabotage of vital institutions.

I had a bit of a brain fart and hit wrong button posting before I had fully written. That's on me not on you.

And yes protesting isn't going to change policy directly. Only new policy will change policy. But protests often leads to new policy.

They're going to look for every reason to discount and disregard protests however. Specifically highlighting any small instances of violence. And specifically because it can change policy eventually.

But protests often leads to new policy.

If the leadership is either democratically elected or authoritarian. Here, it is neither, but instead a mishmash of things that do not respond much to protests of any type . At most protests will lead to superficial changes

Evidence of protests not working ?

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Specifically the peaceful ones. You said they don't work that it requires violence.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

The violent ones will only reduce people in threat of round ups to concentration camps, those are vital to have and I think more us needed.

The topic here was undoing sabotage to critical resources and other changes like that.

I believe that user is talking about this post (link to article). They are requesting some evidence or research that supports the contrary claim you are making.

Yea, I saw that and responded
