No protest will ever be considered by the complacent to be “the right way” because protests make them uncomfortable.
A protest is a demonstration meant to make you uncomfortable, and force you to confront these things that you don’t want to think about.

It is impairative that you do not shrug off these protests because you say they’re, “not the right way.” Thats how we got to now because nothing else was “the right way” and now people are done looking for “the right way” because they feel this is, the only way.
