  • The issue with this line of reasoning, which is correct and the only reasonable way to approach protests, is that protests are sold to participants as if they are actions that do something in the world, because at some point in history, they did. The people attracted by protests are people who want to protest. Even if you attract them into your org, they will still carry that mindset that politics is about words, expression and dissent, rather than power, leverage, change, and impact.

    Probably most potential good organizers avoid protests actively because they do understand intuitivelyy they don’t work and why they don’t work.
