Do you not remember the protests for civil rights? The sit ins? The marches? The protests outside the white house?
Literally every part of what is protesting is based on disrupting everything for the average citizen so the govt is forced to make a change.
The point of protesting is to force action without violence. People blocking traffic or stopping people from entering certain businesses is exactly what protesting is.
Protesting isn’t just rallies where people come together to talk about what they all agree on. It’s actively forcing people to acknowledge the issue without resorting to violence.
Edit: I didn’t see this was a UK post which is my bad but it’s still relevant
The USA is a special case though, they refuse to change or progress socially until they have no other option, which means violence is often the only option.
More civilized countries will enact change long before this.
Then your point doesn’t make sense. You’re calling the US uncivilised for resorting to violence, but not the French who we are talking about historically resorting to violence? And also this is why others don’t resort to violence when civilised (by your standards) because they are afraid of guillotines? IDGI.
New Zealand have enacted women’s suffrage, gay marriage, and decriminanalising abortion with no violence at all, simply because the government of the time listened to the people.

Lmao, I can imagine what you think of France then
France is the reason change usually happens before things get violent.
I do hate the French, but not for that reason.
I think you should look up the history of the guillotine.
You do understand I’m agreeing with you, right? I’m well aware of what a guillotine was used for.

The French went after the actual people in power, first of all, and they’ve learned from their past mistakes.
But their contemporary protests have been just as disruptive if not more disruptive than people slowly walking and causing traffic issues
Or, you know, anyone who wanted a bit more revolution than them.
I’m sure I will regret asking this but why?
They sunk the rainbow warrior.
Just generally being arrogant twats.
You sound dumb as shit.
Please stop, your embarrassing us.

Sorry, but that’s simply wrong. There’s plenty of countries that change with the times.
Like when?

How did the anti-suffragettes, homophobes and pro-forced-birthers react?
Huffed, puffed, moaned, and wrung their hands.
