People are letting the elites know that we are displeased with the status quo.
The social contract is broken. They don't have to pretend to give any fucks about fuxking working people over and we don't have to pretend that we don't cheer when they die esp under such poetic justice circumstances.
It is a dog eat dog world, always has been really. People are waking up to the fact that material conditions imposed on the working people are becoming untenable.
That's not really a demand though.
Protests can't just express general satisfaction.
Literally what protest do and more.
That's just not true.
Anyone who's ever organised a protest will tell you that you need a clear demand.
You can’t tell other people how to protest.
Well no but I can observe other protests and comment on what works well and what doesn't.
This is more about sending a message imho
Sure ok.
I guess the point that I'm making is that protests that do not have a clear and concise demand are not really going to send a message to the people who need to hear it.
