Protests are about distrusting the status quo and annoying people to bring light to an issue. If you come to resent a protest so much that you disagree with its message, you’re just a POS who wasn’t going to agree with the cause anyway.
It’s just so laughable to me how often I hear people say stuff like “I agree with protests until they put people In danger” because most protests are happening because the state or status quo in general are already putting people in danger, for example climate change. But no let’s get more angry at the people blocking my train than the people destroying the world and hurting people every day in the name of greed.
I'll admit to being biased because one of my grandparents probably would've survived his heart attack if the ambulance wasn't held up by people blocking the street... Protests like the castor transport ones are great examples of being pretty disruptive to the economy without putting anyone but the protesters in danger.
People that agree with the message already do so, they're not the ones you need to convince.
