    I think the most effective protest would be one that directly acts against what they’re protesting against, like putting traffic cones on self driving cars or the Tyre Extinguishers deflating tires.

    But that kind of protest doesn’t really apply to sending billions of dollars worth of weapons overseas unless you want to do something very illegal or violent. So whatever the people protesting think will help seems good enough to me.

      But do you understand how the freeway protest pushes me further away from them, but the one in front of raytheon pulls me closer?

        No, I don’t think you’re going to do anything either way. When there was only the Raytheon protest, I doubt you called your state representatives about Palestine. Now that they’re also blocking traffic, I’m sure you’ll continue to do nothing.

          I dont think it works either way, they are pushing us into war with the muslim nations, Russia, and China all at once. Me calling my local rep isnt going to stop their desire for war.
