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 Profile picture protest 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 protest dump mug.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).
