Zeynep Tufekci once made a remark that’s really stuck with me about how the primary purpose of protests is to •demonstrate capacity• — and the question is then “capacity to do what?“ Maybe strike. Maybe change public perception. Maybe swing an election. But it’s got to be capacity to do •something•; protest alone has no intrinsic power.
