Protests during the time of Catherine the Great didn't do anything. She called herself great, and had the wealth and power to keep anybody from disputing the claim by detracting from the title or calling her something like Catherine the Scum, Catherine the Loser, or Catherine the cunt no guy wants to be married to, so ultimately protests didnt get anything accomplished.
Protests get nothing done, they're just a lot of what politicians already do, talk a lot and get nothing done, a few people might die along the way, a lot of public space might get destroyed, that's about it. They're about the most pointless thing somebody could do with their frustration and anger, waste it. The people they're protesting usually try to get them even angrier, for their own amusement.

Get the Protest account mug.The word Protestant originated at the 1529 Diet of Speyer, when the Lutheran Princes issued a "PROTESTATIO" i.e. a 'declaration' of their principles. They became the people of the declaration.
The word Protestant has had a number of interpretations over time, as the reformation itself evolved.
For instance some now would not class Luther as Protestant because he never denied the mass.
Esssentially the RC Church preaches that salvation is only for those who adhere totally to their teachings and doctrines, they interpret the Bible and RC's have to accept their word.
The Protestant Reformation taught that everybody has the right to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. When people began to study Scripture they saw that doctrines such as The Papacy, The Sacerdotal Priesthood, Transubstantiation, The Mass, The Immaculate Conception, Indulgences, Confessions, Holy Water, Rosary Beads, etc., etc., were all totally irrelevant to the simple Scriptural principle of Justification by Faith.

Get the protestant mug.A person who joins a march, demonstration or protest to voice his concern or frustration about an unrelated issue.
There was a peaceful May Day march in Seattle last year, but many piggyback protesters got involved and things became violent.

Get the piggyback protester mug.Statue protests never had anything to do with George Floyd's death. The one thing thing Confederate statues to George Floyd's death is strings of misinformation about what the Confederacy was and why there was a Civil War in America.
Statue protests have as much to do with George Floyd's death as penguins have to do with the North pole.
