Protesting
    #14565841 - 06/05/11 06:31 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Does it ever accomplish anything real? Of all the protests I have seen staged in my lifetime I have not once seen much of anything positive occur because of them including the ones in Egypt, Libya, Yeman, which resulted in civil wars and countless murders. Does protesting ever get shit done?

for civil rights, yeah. Protesting about changing the system itself like the federal reserve, campaign contributions, going back to 0 electronic voting machines, etc, ... nope

I agree. We can't make any significant changes to the fundamentals of our flawed system through protest. However, there are a chain of protests beginning in my nearby town to stop gigantic shipments of coal from tainting our relatively intact ecosystem. Some of the richest people in America (maybe the world) are all behind the support of this terminal and I don't think they really stand a chance due to the high numbers of opposition in the area. It's starting with protests and will grow to full on campaigns against it's construction and approval. I think it depends on publicity because everyone here is locally minded and hears about these kind of issues in real time. You could protest the Fed in San Fransisco and the news probably wouldn't make it past California for more than a day, if at all.

If there actively preventing the contractors from building anything and being all together disruptive of the operation I wouldnt exactly call that a protest. I would call it getting shit done :lol:

The  recent Wisconsin protests could easily be the united states as a whole. I bet that changes something.

I only see protests as a feel good action, There heads in the right place but they rarely if ever accomplish anything substantial. The Wisconsin protest might change something, slightly, only as much as it takes to subdue them. Its not gonna change anything major. What is it there protesting?

Protesting is for little girls. Real men utilise internet petitions.

Well I dont know really, far as I know the only real way is to get people to unite and take over seats of power in senate/House of Commons to actually represent there interests instead of the corporations that fund them. Beyond that I dont really see anything that would be actually viable.

:whathesaid:

The power structure remains the same, the people behind the scenes remain the same. All they did was oust the rich figure head of the operation. Even have the same vice-president I believe.

So you think if the people stood together for a real cause nothing would happen?
I do realize that is but a dream right now but it does not mean it cant or wont happen
in the future.
