I mean protests affect public opinion and people vote. So maybe your points are right under an authoritarian regime, but there's more to it in a democracy.
I am queer and disabled, the things I want are not on the ballet for either party. There might be more to it for your rights, but not for mine.
Oh well in that case I totally agree with you. Republicans and Dems are the same, voting doesn't matter and we have to burn it all to the ground.
You think the point of a protest is to sap the administrative state of resources until they are forced to recognize your position? Time to have another think.
the state resources are more expansive than that of any protest that has taken place; this is self evident from protests that took place and fizzled out like the on going genocide (hasn't yet fully fizzled out); to george floyd; to occupy wall street; etc. mostly due to continued pressures from all systems including manufactured narratives from popular media; legally enabling of police violence on protestors; clandestinely state sanctioned operators/agitators; plus many, many more methods.
Like talking to a brick wall.
Yes. Obviously.
Thus if the point of your protest is to create change by wearing down government, you are doing it wrong.
