I love the idea of protesting a company by buying product and then burning it in the streets. This is why boycott matters.

People held protests in front of the homes of the US supreme court justices this past summer after the Dobbs decision. It's a sure bet that all they accomplished was to make the justices that much more certain that they decided the case correctly.

Bus drivers around here are on strike. Being considered essential services they are legally forced to work. So what do they do? They put fluorescent signs in the windows and stopped to take payment for the ride. They provide the service for free, so they lose money. Should fix the issue within a month or 6...

Protests work only when the pressure the right people. Like if your protesting outside of a politicians office or being bad publicity in a public figure your more likely to get results than just blocking a random street corner

Lol a person who doesn't like work comes up with another excuse not to work. Don't suggest other people be like you.

Demonstrating has long been unpopular but that doesn't make it ineffective. You definitely need a goal, it can't be aimless (like the Occupy movement). Either way, protest has historically been portrayed in a negative light (for obvious reasons) so if it makes people upset that's par for the course.

I don’t get to destroy shit when I strike and boycott. Until then I’ll continue to loot stores and set fire to buildings.

I think the Chinese protests managed to bring about some changes. The covid restrictions were reversed after the protests went out of control.
Similarly, right after the trucker protest in Ottawa, Canada reversed a lot of its covid restrictions.
Coincidence? I'll let you decide.

Ideally, do so before your pet becomes sick, but life happens and planning for the death of a loved one can be overwhelming and more than you can handle at the moment.

The key to protesting is to actually protest and effect the life of the person causing the problem. Go protest at the guy’s house, 24 hours a day. Block them, follow them everywhere. Make them and everyone associated with miserable. That is how you protest, not blocking traffic and affecting the lives of unassociated average people.
