is your argument that protests do nothing, therefore people should stay home?

  Frankly, you are both right. We have to protest, because sitting silently is nothing but complicity. But protests alone almost certainly won't solve this. There is a 'progression' of boxes in resisting tyranny, and protests are the soap box.

  > is your argument that protests do nothing, therefore people should stay home? Or maybe something else that isn't a protest? Not sure what that would be, but protests are traditional but seem very performative and ineffectual. Honestly, I think the real reaction should probably be re-organizing over a more reasonable and moderate form of populism.
