protest

A gathering of people ostensibly against a cause or political event who engage in rioting, arson, vandalism, looting, false imprisonment, battery, deadly force, and every other mala in se crime imaginable.

Let's have a mostly peaceful protest, wink wink nod nod!

Uncivil Protests

Here's why they are dumb...

Hym "Right but the problem with your uncivil protests is that the government doesn't give a shit if Wal-Mart's windows get busted because 'ThEy HaVe InSuRaNcE!' The people you collectively have a problem with aren't the ones paying the price for your discontent because you aren't even GOING TO WHERE THEY ARE. And now that you've framed protesting AT THE ACTUAL PLACE WHERE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE PROTESTING ARE as an 'Insurrection' and 'violence bad' the people responsible for the collective discontent are never even affected by the thing you're doing to other people who are not them. It's like a peasant revolt where the peasants burn down everything EXCEPT FOR THE KING'S CASTLE and then just go home. It doesn't work. What are you going to do? Replace the guy who says he believes the things you believe with another guy who claims to believe what you believe? 2 or 4 years from now? That's already been happening. 'If OnLy It WaSn'T fOr ThE oThEr GuY!' you'll perpetually cry but YOU'RE already were you are. You're an object in motion. So, it doesn't really matter is it doesn't work. But you know what does work (and I'm not advocating for this) 100% of the time? The threat of hammer clowns. In theory. They are the only thing keeping us safe. Hammer clowns and the threat of hammer clowns. Just look at Afghanistan. Their hammer clowns won and now they need new hammer clowns or be ruled by taliban indefinitely. If only they were amenable to reason.... Hmm... Tragic... Oh well..."

Protesting

Protesting doesn't really do anything, it's always going to end up being someone other than the protestors in charge at the end of the day, and that person is always going to try and calm them. What's the point? It's a waste of everyone's time and nothing changes.

The people in charge along with everybody who is not in charge and also not part of the protests laugh at protestors. At least everybody not protesting is getting something accomplished that day, or those days (and nights).

Statue protests

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. America is not the only country that has ever had a civil war, and the reason is usually who gets what, not some idealistic and lofty cause like abolition or human rights (as good as it sounds).

Statue protests have as much to do with George Floyd's death as penguins have to do with the North pole.

Violent Protest in Minneapolis

Is a euphemism for eating out one's ass intensely, referring to the meme of a dude eating out another dude's ass while on the news report about a violent protest in Minneapolis.

"I was with this girl last night and things got hot and heavy. I ended up doing a Violent Protest in Minneapolis to her."

Sonic Boom Protests

The Sonic Boom Protests were a series of protests against how in Sonic Boom, Sonic had blue arms. Yes, really. The protests were done by Christian Weston Chandler, better known as Chris Chan. What he did was he went to GameStop and vandalized the Sonic Boom posters in order to make Sonic’s arms tan. When he was asked to stop, he said “Don’t call anybody!” and maced an employee. Because GameStop workers definitely programmed the games and made Sonic’s arms tan, Chris.

He also attempted to get people to boycott the game, thinking others were pissed about the arm color change. However, only weens joined him.

Ironically, Chris’ first drawing of Sonic had, you guessed it, blue arms.

What was the point of the Sonic Boom Protests? Lowkey Sonic looks better with blue arms.

Protests

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.
