Exactly. I'm not opposed to demanding things. I just don't see particularly disruptive protests as effective at realizing those demands. As you point out, these protests might even be counterproductive. If all they're doing is blocking the road as is the case in the photo I was responding to, that's not likely to help. That's screaming into the ether. It might make them feel better but it's not likely to solve the root cause of their problems. I think a lot of activism is more about making the activists feel better than actually changing the world.
