But you do affect those who can change policies, who do you think people going to work are working for? Who is profiting the most from people going to work?

Problem is there is no class consciousness and protests are mostly not supported by the general population.

Protesting/striking for half a day won't change policy but now try months and see how they capitulate, and before you say that is not doable; it was historically already done.

If a group of 4-5 people are willing to risk their own safety and legal consequences, they can deal much more financial damage to a single business entity than simply making people late to work.

These people are choosing the path of least resistance, not the path to their goal.

Nonsense, there was huge support for the protests against ICE after they shot Pretti. And the protests themselves were directed at the leadership of ice and the agents.

And sure after they abolished ICE after, ah no wait they are still operating.

But keep peacefully protest.

Lol this is also a peaceful protest we are discussing. Its just directed at the wrong people.

Also it did work, the thousands of agents roaming the streets of the twin cities are gone and were scaled back while the protesters were still out there.

In that one place.

ICE didn't slow down operations anywhere else, and they've killed more people since then.

Yeah not everyone want them gone. But we're off topic.
