Protests are very good at causing civil unrest, damaging public property, making other peoples days worse, and swaying their view further away from your cause

Okay, but for what possible reason

Internationalisation and the free flow of information is an objectively good thing for humanity as a whole. Yes, it might eliminate elements of local culture, but it's arguable that that too is a net positive

Honestly, the best online resource I know of are the 3blue1brown videos on complex numbers

Any tool risks confusing you more, since multiplying in the complex plane can act quite unexpectedly when you move outside the real line for both parameters
