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..."

Get the Uncivil Protestsmug. 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).

Get the Protestingmug. 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.

Get the Protestersmug. To change your profile picture in a social media service in order to make a statement on some recent event.
Changing the profile picture to a 'Je suis Charlie' one to show compassion on the Charlie Hebdo event is a profile picture protest.
Changing the profile picture to a plain-color one to support a law is a profile picture protest.

Get the Profile picture protestmug. After a lovely hike, was chagrined to find the park bathroom locked up tight. So I dropped trou and lodged a protest dump to remind city workers who they work for.
