Protests show the people who are afraid that they’re not alone. Protests show the people in power that there is a real threat. They may be peaceful now, but if things continue they may no longer have peaceful protests.
Also, protesting provides training for organizing and brings up voices and leaders that are needed for future actions to be successful.
The leaders we read about during past revolts didn’t just appear on the front lines magically. In the past many revolts took years or decades to transform the territory. With sometimes several generations of leaders playing important parts in the process.
It will be even funnier if the sign says “no fascist have ever been removed by a protest”
Not sure if people might take it the wrong way though, it might be a bit too based.

Absolutely, I’m not saying we shouldn’t protest. But protests do need to be coupled with a real threat (i.e. “we will go on strike” or similar)
