Poll question is, when is a protest good?

1. When it's an issue I personally care about and the protest doesn't hinder my daily life in anyway

2. A protest is never good if it hinders my daily life in anyway or if I don't care about the cause.

Correct. The UK government has the right idea.

Protests need to be out of sight and out of mind. If they cause a disturbance, of any kind, they need to be dealt with harshly.

And also they can't disturb any political figure or try to make them change their mind.

Boy I love Priti Patel! :)

Protests as a broader concept are good.
Specific protests can either be good or bad.
For example, a protest against Nazis is good.
A protest in favor of Nazis is bad.

Options are way too binary which is a major problem these days.

Life is much more nuanced.

When a legit dictator like Marcos will come to power (and not someone Twitter thinks is going to be a dictator because they are Republican or just aren't far left). Also, the great resignation is a protest that doesn't seem like a protest, but it was much needed one all things considered.

Actually, obstruct all but emergency vehicles to the fullest extent possible.

if politicians, corporations, etc. aren't listening to the people, they're sometimes necessary to try to elicit some kinda change.

Damn it. I'm bad at trolling.

This was a topic about wanting to point out that actually, people don't like real life protests, regardless of them saying they do.
It's one of those things people say is good in the abstract, but unless the protest is very very specific in its implementation, most people do not support protests.

That's one way to read it
Not the right way, but it's one way
