i am all for lobbying and petitioning the governments to make peoples lives better, safer, less intrusive when politicians get involved.. but most of these protests dont lead to changes, they just end up being parades, circus shows or even just entertainment like a music concert(without the music)
where paid staff get paid just to organise circus shows and organise how to get citizens lives messed around with for a central cause. basically many organisers use citizens as puppets/pawns to get the public snared up in public disorder where people get arrested but the puppet master organisers remain safe in their offices pretending to be the good guys
if only there was a citizen backed proper lobby group that uses the funds properly to activate real change
take the UK right now. we are dealing with a prime minister that had no manifesto of digital ID so we didnt vote him in with the wish of digital ID, the people dont want it so he is pushing for something that goes against the majority.. thus goes against those he is suppose to represent
with all the protests of anonymous, all the protests against 2030, all the evidence of ID theft and cloning. you would have thought even at political levels that such "mandated" ID was a bad idea, but it only seen government resistance after 3m people petitioned government and where each member of parliament was sent requests on their allegiances to either PM's plan or to the people, and where by the MP's are now actually standing up for the people to question the digital ID
if things just stayed as just street protests of people wearing masks with 'anonymous' messages and anti-2030. all that would happen is citizen arrests and that would have escalated to riots and the PM using the crimes of citizens as more reason to want to identify everyone and track everyone
so you must atleast appreciate the methods of redressing your government work better if done the right way
These demonstrations are where the lobbyist and petitioners are at with their tables and clipboards.
Again: organizations like the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) ----are---at---these---events.
Just got back from mine, and for once, news outlets are reporting on them without violence being the only interest.
