    of course you can truly know, what are you talking about. if you have demands that are met (eg release the prisoners) you succeeded in helping. if they aren’t you didn’t, but we can usually negotiate for something in between.

    this is the crux of the issue and what the people criticizing these protests usually mean. without a clear goal and a clear way to pressure them to cave, all you are doing is waste potential and tire people out on toothless protests.

    the people not already hopelessly brainwashed by fascism already have “awareness”. the purpose of banding together now is not to show you can because you already did that. it’s to use that leverage to score concessions from the regime.
