> I get what you’re saying but in the last 20 years can you think of any mass protest that accomplished anything substantial?

Nope.

Even the Jan 6 one didn’t really change our quality of life. And damn, that was a protest, by American standards.

It was a protest as much as the Beer Hall Putsch was.

January Sixth was not a protest, it was an attempt to interfere with government processes to prevent Biden from being elected - so a really shitty attempt at a coup.
