As JohnR implied, the protesters are a symptom of something much larger--a part of the "big picture" you so often tell us to pay attention to. And it is a big picture which has massive ability to change things, politically and socially. The so-called "protesters" are part of and a symptom of that fundamental transformation you're not noticing. Maybe that's because you apparently choose to pay attention to, or are only capable of paying attention to, one thing at a time. And, I suppose, you choose to pay attention only to that which interests you or supports whatever you want to believe.
But even if you are not paying attention to the fundamental transformation that has Progressively been happening, how do you miss that there is a difference between legitimate protest and the shutting down of someone else's ability and right to speak?
And how do you miss that shutting down the ability to speak is a powerful method and means to implement a political agenda?
