Solidarity denotes the unity and mutual support among individuals with shared objectives, crucial in protests for reinforcing collective resolve. Protests are strategically held in high-visibility, disruptive locations to maximize impact and draw public and institutional attention. This disruption compels acknowledgment of the issues, leveraging collective action to catalyze societal and political change. In contrast, low-visibility protests are often ineffective as they fail to generate sufficient public awareness or pressure for change.

    Maybe I am.

    I think most people believe only hard power exists. Coercion. Force. Strength. Control. Etc.

    I’m not denying it.

    All I’m saying is that there is also power in patience, softness, morality, cooperation, etc.

      Virtues are nice, but they haven’t succeeded in getting change. Disruption and disturbance have.

        I believe both can be useful in their own situations.

        It seems to me that you have much to learn.

            Of course, I do have much things to learn.

            But I’ve seen and dealt with people like you before.

            Disruption. Change. Force. Chaos. Attention.

            I get it.

            I just don’t feel I have much to learn here.
