If these protests aren't doing shit then why is the police state coming down so hard on them recently?
You haven't been paying attention if you think police don't come down on other protesters. You think only pro Palestine protesters get beaten, harassed, arrested and fucked over in America?
No I certainly don't. These protests are not unique in how successful they are at challenging the status quo. The police state is also very effective at suppressing them, which is precisely why they are important. It's a constant push and pull, we gain ground and we lose it, but if people didn't protest at all we would only lose it.
Your insistence on sitting on your ass and waiting for violent revolution while whinging about protestors not doing anything is lazy and cowardly.
The frontier of resistance is everywhere, and even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. The day will come when all these protests and demonstrations, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the status quo's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
That last paragraph was paraphrased from Andor, because it's a simple enough concept that even a Disney show gets it.
