How many protests have happened at actual seats of power?

Like a lot? You can find loads of articles of activists staging demonstrations in and around Parliament buildings all the fucking time. You may not have heard about them since the status quo will actively try to silence any dissent (like how the UK literally cuts the live proceedings video feed as soon as any citizen vocally protest anything in parliament).

Just please don’t go on believing that disruptions only inconvenience the public. Like nobody in activism likes to make people’s lives harder, the only reason they’re done in public is because doing so in government buildings hasn’t gotten any recognition.

Like I’d love nothing more than for anyone to be able to calmly express their concerns and potential solutions, be heard and reasoned with and have meaningful action be taken.

And like what do you propose people do instead? When they have ideas on how to solve the problems we face but nobody in power listens because its not in their best interest, how do you suggest they go about having their voices heard?
