Protests in the past were against something that even if you disagreed with the people, their philosophical foundation was likely agreeable. The core of these were "freedom", freedom from being forced _to do_ something, freedom from being prevented from doing something, freedom from having something taken from you without just cause, freedom to have your day in court. Now protests seem to be "I don't want _you_ to be able to say something", "I don't want you too be able to do something","I want to force you too do what I want." It's like protesters today are working directly for our oppressors and doing their work for them, and they don't even realize it.
