May be phrasing it wrong, but I look at actions like Labor rights, Pride, Civil Rights, Black Panthers, etc. where actions of protesters felt much intense and made more of an impact in actually changing things vs now where there are protests but it feels like it constantly falls of deaf ears.

Have we just not hit that breaking point yet? Have we collectively been beat down so hard? Or have we forgotten how to truly fight for rights? Or… am I just completely off the mark and missing something else?

That was literally a right wing protest about an election result. Protests aren't always good. All those words you used have broad overlap and generally things escalate from protest to riot to insurrection.

    Right. So using your definitions of protest, riot and insurrection and using your statement that protests, riots and insurrections are mutually exclusive; How would you describe a situation where a crowd is demonstrating their objection to the government with a violent uprising?

    Every use of language is contextual and by forcing yourself into an absolutist understanding you'll lose nuance in your interpretation.

    That said. Idgaf loser keep coping
