Is there any point in protests?
Over the last few years people have been protesting in the streets and going on strike for any number of reasons.
Austerity measures, illegal wars, pensions, corrupt MPs and governments, job cuts and bankers getting away with ruining the world economy and making ordinary people pay for it are just to name a few.
Has all this protesting done anything to change the situation? Sadly the answer is NO.
In this modern era protesting is a waste of time. Sure you might feel good and that you may achieve something but you are just kidding yourselves. Governments use these protests against you, ignore them or even encourage them to deflect from the real problems going on i.e. themselves.
If you want to change things then there are only 2 ways you can do this:
1) Use the law to prosecute. In which case you will have to have infinite resources, big enough lawyers on your side and hope the press aren't gagged or bought off.
2) Revolt. Take life into your own hands.
Revolutions aren't always about blood (though some do result in it); they are a natural way of telling the current system that it unsustainable and needs to change and adapt. Try a new model; the old one no longer fits the bill. Throughout history revolutions have happened time and time again, hence the name. They help to move the system along it's course of evolution and stop it from stagnation.
Those that tell you revolutions are not the answer and try to threaten you are usually the ones who stand to lose the most when they occur.
