if protests made any difference, they would make them illegal. like self custody they are trying to make illegal. they are trying to stop people leaving the control of their tax farm borders. they are trying to stop people thinking about practical solutions that don't involve signalling what a goody two shoes you are "caring" about society and other people. guess what? those other people are none of your responsibility, nor any of your business. only an idiot gets involved with a discussion that is being refereed by a lying cadre of psychological manipulators. have fun with your catharsis anyway. that's all it is. when you run out of anger because you think you did everything you already could, you'll realise that there is practical things you can do to change the world, and they are all right in arms reach. playing games with arch manipulators to plead to the public to participate in rigged elections is pathetic. you aren't doing anything for anyone, except your wounded sense of yourself.

I would say occupy wall street nearly worked - however getting out on the street and meeting people face to face to learn people about fiat one at a time is still the best method to spread the word.
