Comments on: The futility of modern political protest https://www.kylewierks.com/the-futility-of-modern-political-protest/ One world, united Wed, 29 Jan 2020 05:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Kyle Wierks https://www.kylewierks.com/the-futility-of-modern-political-protest/#comment-263 Wed, 29 Jan 2020 05:53:44 +0000 https://www.kylewierks.com/?p=836#comment-263 In reply to Luke.

That’s a good point, Luke. And these protests peter out so quickly that they come and go without anyone noticing beyond a news story or two. Even the Occupy Movement could not sustain itself long enough to enact lasting change (though it did spark conversations around the world).

The focus can be really key, though, because if there is no clarity, there will be no result.
