    It doesn’t. I think these people are well meaning, but I’m not sure they’ve given much thought to the effectiveness of these kinds of demonstrations, in regards to actually affecting policy. I’m not sure they even care. I think stuff like this might be more about expressing their outrage than actually making any meaningful changes.

      yep exactly, all it will do is increase law makers making up new rules to stop this style of protest

      “this protest could have been a tweet”

        Don’t be so sure. Protesters lend political capital to forces within the government who agree we should be doing more to stop this genocide.

        One person with a sign is worth more than a hundred irate posts.
