Is protesting still actually effective?  

There was def value pre internet but now it feels outdated, like writing a letter or riding a horse.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Sounds like most of the western world lol

In France, they start listening to you if you burn things like road, trash...
It's easier (and faster) to pass an unpopular law and smash protests than finding a consensus with opposant party

lol prob not but I could at least see how you might argue they had some value pre internet - facilitated p2p interactions that lacked today’s various communication channels, helped politicians gauge how much support/energy an issue had, etc

Lol they look more like frat parties than a fundamental aspect of democracy

It's pure theatre with recycled scripts. That's what my inner cynic seems to believe at least.

I think it can still be effective. If you're talking about the protests in US universities, I think they're very effective. Got everyone talking about them and in general it forces notorious people come out as to which side they support. That's what it's about.
