    Making a real change takes a number of things, including realizing that there are enough other people that feel the same way.

    These protests will not directly lead to change, but they will help move us in the right direction. They are a necessary part.

      I dunno, with the AI surveillance state “improving” the kill chain in US wars (you all can bomb school children super effectively now, since AI tells you to! Can’t hold AI accountable!), and the arrest chain of “terrorist” protestors, I imagine that the cell phone location data from these protests could lead directly to certain changes in the USA. Certain changes that will help to populate all those new concentration camps with cheap prisoner labour to replace all the immigrants on the farms etc.
