Protesting does not do anything because politians are not accountable to voters. People who they are accountable to don’t give two fucks if pleb burn down parts of cities. They will get contracts to clean it up.

Hurt their profits is the only language they understand.

Or, start taking the protests and riots to their doorsteps.

They don’t care when you burn the areas they don’t live in. But when you take the protest to them… They scream and call for more cops. But in the time it takes for the cops to show up, you can do a lot of damage, especially if you have a thousand friends.

The people protesting are most likely a extreme minority. Also they are often politically affiliated which accomplishes nothing

Don’t forget that they are either caused by FBI like Jan6 or infiltrated within days like summer of 2020 and BLM in particular.

Imagine still saying in 2023 that Jan 6 wasn’t Trump and his ilk and blaming the FBI. Youd fit right in on Truth Social
